Vacca's reference, that the bronze sculpture was excavated near the Arch of Septimius Severus (cf. documentation), seems to be completely fictive. The attribution of the modern twins to Guglielmo della Porta by Stevenson (cf. bibl.) is not acceptable, because their existence is documented before 1510 by Albertini (cf. documentation field on relationships page. See the discussion by Michaelis and Janitschek, cf. bibl.). Venturi proposed an attribution to Antonio Pollaiuolo for the twins (cf. bibl.). The database does not include the medieval references to the Lupa, hence the lack of documentation on the early whereabouts of the figure. The details of the early provenance of the Lupa remain uncertain. All that we can be sure of is that it was not yet on the Torre Annibaldi in 1200 and that it was there in 1438. The bronze statue of a Lupa by Giovanni Turino cited by Bober and Rubinstein 1986 (cf. bibl.) does not resemble the Lupa Capitolina and therefore cannot be regarded as a document. 15 Mar 2017 07:48:24 4/4
