Bronzes of Riace at the Archeological Museum of Reggio Calabria, the Annunciazione by Francesco Mochi and the St. Michele Arcangelo by Matteo di Ugolino at the Opera del Duomo Museum of Orvieto, Italy. These basements are also useful for the preventive conservation of other high vulnerable statues with analogous reduced support at the base, such as the David by Micheangelo in Florence
