Speranza

Sansovino shared with Cellini a praise for 'life'.

For Sansovino's "Bacco", his studio assistant, Pippo del Fabbro, served as a model.

Pipo, according to Vasari, "stood NAKED for a good part of the day" in Sansovino's studio ad was last heard of standing naked on a rooftop in the rain in the pose of Sansovino's statue.
