L'ERCOLE FARNESINO -- body found, according to Aldrovandi, in the Baths of Caracalla in 1546 -- the head in a well in Tratevere (G. della Porta) -- acquired through the agency of Della Porta by the FARNESE.

Speranza

L'ERCOLE was displayed in the first courtyard of the Palazzo FARNESE until 1787 when it was taken to NAPOLI.
