#Fun fact: did you know that Apollo was born before Artemis and their birth wasn't always twin birth?

Latona di Veio

This massive statue of the Mediterranean Goddess Latona, holding Apollo in Her hands, was found in the Etruscan city of Veio. In 2022, the statue was set up to restoration - a "much needed" one. The sculpture was found alongside statues of Apollo, Hercules, and Hermes - perhaps all parts of a singular compound scene at an ancient temple.

A legal company Carbonetti e Associati funded the project.
