Vae Tyrannis (Filippini)
It is a work that is part of Filippini's artistic beginning based on historical subjects, also necessary to be able to win prizes to support himself, for which he treasures his studies in Brera with Bernini. Thanks to this work he will in fact receive the Brozzoni Prize, with which the Municipality of Brescia will buy "La morte di Caligola" for a very high sum at the time, 1,200 Italian lire in 1879, renaming it "Vae Tyrannis". The Opera will achieve considerable notoriety among art critics both in Italy and abroad.
