The girl wearing a veil is mysterious and beautiful. It is the subject of creation that artists represented by Rafiro Monti and Antonio Corradini in the 19th century are passionate about, and has a story that makes us feel incredible.
They are the virgins of Vesta, priestesses of ancient Rome, who specialize in serving the goddess Vesta who is in charge of the sacred fire. If the torch is not extinguished, the country will flourish. They must be loyal, chaste, and guard the holy fire for decades.
During the sacrifice, they wore a flawless veil to show their admiration and respect for Vesta. They were worshipped and admired by people at the time. Although the production of the veil sculpture is very complicated, the artist is always happy to do his best to embody the holy beauty of the virgin. As time passed, the Temple of Vesta was unearthed, and the veil of the girl was lifted again. After thousands of years of prayers, they once again entered people’s field of vision, and they seemed so gentle and calm.
