After 1861 the demand for artistic bronzes in western Sicily is related to the need to celebrate recent historical events. They were erected in places that were the scene of the initial stages of the “Expedition of the Thousand”, such as the landing at Marsala, the proclamation of the dictatorship at Salemi, the victorious battle of Calatafimi, and the insurrection of Palermo.These bronze works were all cast in foundries outside Sicily. The only exception in this context was Mario Rutelli’s Fonderia Artistica Siciliana and the bronzes cast there.
