It is a bust representing Floriano Bodini's father, Toni. The son's gaze investigates its external and internal appearance at the same time, through the revelation of some anatomical details, even internal to the human body itself, described as impeccable and elegant clothing with accessories such as a watch and tie. Even the posture and the look convey a lot of the rigorous, decisive and proud personality of Floriano's father. There is also an affectionate element, a childhood memory for the sculptor: on Toni's arm rests Nacchia, the crow that was “at home” for the Bodini family, very fond of both Floriano and his parents.
