It is in truth rather difficult to “place” critically a sculpture as complex as Rizzo's, even if the extremely fertile humus of the Gothic culture of the Po valley, open and attentive to the newest and most vital phenomena of civilisation throughout Europe from the first premises of the late-medieval renewal, can offer convincing indications about some antecedents of this lofty and inimitable language. But wholly unforeseen is the sublime spontaneity of this most tender and terribly true mother-woman, an admirable synthesis of idea and of nature observed in everyday familiarity.
