Achille D'Orsi's bronze sculpture, "Don Basilio from the Barber of Seville," depicts a character from the famous opera by Gioachino Rossini. Don Basilio is known for his scheming and conniving personality, and D'Orsi captures this perfectly in the sculpture. The figure's posture is hunched, his expression sly, and his hands clasped in a manner suggestive of plotting. This sculpture is a great example of D'Orsi's ability to capture the essence of a character through his artistic skill.
