An important contribution to reviving the group of sculptures depicting Samson and the Lion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Such as the life of man, that of Milan Duomo\u2019s sculptures is dotted with multiple milestones: it is a journey that starts from the Candoglia Quarries<\/strong> where the marble that they come from is extracted, arriving then at the Marble Workshop<\/strong> where the block is worked on in detail and, finally, the finished statue is placed on the Monument by workers at the Duomo Worksite<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, even these magnificent works come to the end of their lifecycles on the walls of the Cathedral after a time, inevitably needing to be removed for preservation and safety reasons. \u201cAdopt a Statue\u201d was created with the intention of enhancing once again the beauty and history of these unique pieces<\/strong>, giving companies the opportunity to contribute to their restoration and display them in a space away from the Historical Complex, in accordance with the Superintendence of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of the Metropolitan City of Milan<\/strong>. A unique opportunity to promote the history and the beauty of this heritage, which belongs to all.<\/p>\n

\n Deloitte and the adoption of Samson and the lion <\/h2>\n
\n <\/div>\n
\n

Deloitte<\/strong>, world leader in the offer of professional services to businesses, has decided to adopt the imposing group of sculptures depicting \u201cSamson Fighting the Lion\u201d<\/strong>, made in the 17th century by Giovanni Battista Buzzi and originally found on the northern arm of the cross. The work will be kept on display for a year at the company\u2019s Milan headquarters, in via Tortona<\/strong>, welcoming employees and clients in its elegant, internal courtyard.<\/p>\n

In the story of Samson, narrated throughout the books of the Old Testament, the extraordinary strength of a man stands out \u2013 a hero chosen by God to fight the Philistines; just as in this biblical episode where Samson wins with his virtue alone against the wild beast that attacked him. He effectively embodies the strength that wins over ferocity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\u201cSo Samson went down with his <\/em><\/h4>\n

father and mother to Timnah, and he\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n

came to the vineyards of Timnah. Now\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n

to his\u00a0surprise, a young lion\u00a0<\/em>came\u00a0roaring <\/em><\/h4>\n

against him.\u00a0\u00a0And\u00a0the Spirit of the\u00a0Lord\u00a0came <\/em><\/h4>\n

mightily upon him, and he tore the lion apart <\/em><\/h4>\n

as one would have torn apart a young goat, <\/em><\/h4>\n

though\u00a0<\/em>he had\u00a0nothing in his hand. <\/em><\/h4>\n

But he did not tell his father or his mother <\/em><\/h4>\n

what he had done.\u201d<\/em><\/h4>\n
