Sculpted busts of a young woman with downcast eyes and a mother and child, framed by the panes of a wooden window in Piazza della Pescheria, Volterra, Tuscany, Italy. They showcase the work of highly-skilled artisans at Rossi Alabastri, one of the workshops and galleries carving, repairing and selling the alabaster, still dug in local quarries, that prompted Volterra’s original foundation as the ancient Etruscan city of Velathri.
