The Bronzi di Riace (Italian for "Riace bronzes") are two famous full-size Greek bronzes of nude bearded warriors, cast about 460ā450 BC[1] and housed by the Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia in Reggio Calabria, Italy. However, from 2009, the bronzes are visible in the Palazzo Campanella, seat of the Regional Council of Calabria (Consiglio Regionale della Calabria), where they were brought due to the restoration of the Magna Grecia National Museum.
The Bronzi di Riace were first discovered in 1972 but did not emerge from conservation until 1981. Their exhibition in Florence and Rome was the cultural event of the year in Italy, providing covers for numerous magazines (Gemelli). They have been commemorated in a pair of postage stamps issued by Italy, and they are widely reproduced.
They are considered one of the symbols of Calabria.
