Domus Romana ''Casa del Fanciullo sul Delfino''...
During the 2010 renovations of the basements of Palazzo Orsucci (16th century) in the centre of Lucca, the remains of the Roman house "House of the Child on a Dolphin" came to light. Among the most significant findings stands out a fragment of a terracotta frieze that decorated the lobby of the porch. By comparison with specimens found in Rome, it was possible to reconstruct the decorative motif: two victorious children riding dolphins towards the head of a Gorgon. Metaphorically, the frieze, from which the Domus took its name, represents "the triumph of good over evil".
