Perseo's diadema

The coral and pearl diadem adorned the head of the winning Perseus (2009 Palazzo Venezia, Rome) and was the inspiring fulcrum of a ballet by Marinski's students in the Marble Hall of the Ethnographic Museum during the annual Diaghilev P.S. Festival (S.Petersburg). “Perseus rested the severed head of Medusa on a rock covered with algae. And the stream of blood that still flowed from the terrifying laceration petrified the marine vegetation by dyeing it red and thus giving rise to the coral” M.Marini.
