Not far from the coast of Sicily, they bewitched passing sailors, using the softness of their songs and the grace of their bodies, making them insensitive to hunger and thirst. The unfortunate ones will eventually starve to death. Ulysses himself, as is told in the famous part of the Odyssey, met them and was almost seduced. The death of sea creatures is told in Apollonio Rodio's Argonautica, where it is written that the Sirens were defeated by the mortal Orpheus, who made them fall headlong into the sea and turn into rocks with his songs and the sounds of his cithara. Montegrappa dedicated the Sirena collection to the strong emotions evoked by these mythological figures with a blue resin body, folded into an allegory of sea elements and inhabited by mythical characters. The creativity and imagination of the artist Leopoldo Aquila thus expressed the fascination of temptation and the fascination of the depths.
