Political collectibles, 1970s, “historic compromise,” Aldo Moro and Enrico Berlinguer, a pair of wooden caricature sculptures. Measurements: height approximately 42.00/43.00 cm both – base (Moro) 10.00 x 11.00 cm – base (Berlinguer) 12.00 x 11.50 cm Monoxial sculptures depicting the secretary of the Italian Communist Party Enrico Berlinguer (1922-1984) and the Prime Minister Aldo Moro (1916-1978), masterfully caricatured and probably inspired by the famous caricatures of the cartoonist Giorgio Forattini. Their attribution is uncertain, as is their dating, although it is certain that they were created in the 1970s and were most likely inspired by the "historic compromise" desired by the two leaders. They certainly predate 1978, the year of Moro's kidnapping and killing. Objects of remarkable beauty and rare appearance on the market.
