Radicofani is an original contemporary artwork realized by Bettino Craxi in the first years of the 1980s. Original Etching. Very Good conditions. Beautiful etching depicting the Italian village Radicofani, the small native village where Ghino di Tacco has lived. He was an Italian brigand. Having taken refuge in Radicofani (SI), a fortress on the Via Cassia, on the border between the Republic of Siena and the Papal States, Ghino continued his career as a bandit, but in the form of a "gentleman", always leaving something to live to the unfortunate. The character is mentioned both by Boccaccio in the Decameron and by Dante in the Divine Comedy. Bettino Craxi signed his articles and his editorials of political analysis under the pseudonym "Ghino di Tacco". This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution less
