The Superintendence of the Archaeological Heritage of Tuscany along with the Director of the Archaeological Museum of Florence commissioned the Fonderia Marinelli to produce a negative mold from the original Etruscan sculpture of Minerva in order to obtain an identical bronze cast for the Museum. The restoration took place at the laboratory of the Superintendence.
