Refences to the actual person

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I know this sounds ridiculous but are there any references that show that Antonio Frilli actually existed and was a sculptor? I was looking at the amazing photos of his sculptures and tried to find out more about him but wikipedia says little and I can't find any place where a actual physical original Antonio Frilli is on display. Everywhere I look I just find places selling replicas but I can't find the originals. I know this is well into the original research territory (and possibly tin hat crazy) but this is a talk page so give me some leaway and I just can't find any actual solid references to him. Even the original wikipedia article was created by someone who created this page and then vanished. What looks like definitive websites such as https://www.frilligallery.com/ turn out to be places selling copies with no information on Frilli or his sculptures. I am going to feel embarrassed when someone posts something obvious. Mtpaley (talk) 19:35, 3 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

There are even articles like this ^[1] that say he died in 1920 and yet posthumously won a prize in 1904. And this one says he died in 1892 ^[2]. It is all very .... odd. Mtpaley (talk) 19:55, 3 September 2024 (UTC). ^[3]. Lived 1880-1920 yet active 1860 - 1902, the more I look the more oddities I find. Mtpaley (talk) 21:12, 3 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

"He was in Philadelphia for the Centennial Exposition of 1876, and in 1881 his statues and garden furnitures were exhibited in the Italian Pavilion" clearly comes from https://www.fineartphotographyvideoart.com/2014/06/Antonio-Frilli.html Which is a site that starts with "Antonio Frilli (1880-1920)" and then goes onto to say "In 1860, Frilli established his first and exclusive Atelier in via dei Fossi". So he went to the Exposition at age -4 and established the Atelier at age -20. Maybe the 1880-1920 is the time when he was a active sculptor so he was born no later than 1840 ish.

This actually agrees better with the tombstone picture that was recently posted which is clearly not of a 32 year old which is what the wikipedia article currently claims.

Just pointing out that nothing about Antonio Frilli is consistent and I still have a nagging worry that the entire thing is a hoax or just completely incorrect. Mtpaley (talk) 17:56, 1 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
