Achille D'Orsi's "The King Alfonso of Aragon" is a realistic marble sculpture of the historical figure, depicted in full armor and standing in a confident pose. The work, which likely dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century, is housed in a niche on a building façade, suggesting it was created as a public monument. D'Orsi, born in Italy in 1845, was a skilled sculptor known for his realistic portraiture and historical subjects, capturing the grandeur of this influential king. The intricate details of the armor and the lifelike portrayal of Alfonso's expression contribute to the statue's powerful presence.
