Zusammenfassung

The so called "Centauri Furietti", preserved in the Capitoline Museums at Rome, are famous and celebrated statues, signed by the ancient authors, the sculptors Aristeas and Papias of Aphrodisias. Almost absent has been a study of the monument in which they were presumably exposed.The recent discovery, inside the building called Atrio Mistilineo at the Accademia of Hadrian's Villa, of two small statuesque fragments in bigio morato marble confirms the certainty of the place of origin of the statues. The architectural characteristics of the building allow to offer hypotheses on the original location and on the themes expressed within the figurative programme.The aim of this study is therefore to trace the link between the statues and the building, producing new information on the use of the precious bigio morato marble from Göktepe, the relationship existing between the quarry and sculptors working at Aphrodisias and the workshops involved in the production of the figurative programmes of Hadrian's Villa.
