About "L'Orgia", or "Per me se va tra la perduta gente".
This sculpture was made by Torquato Della Torre between 1851 and 1854 and is entitled "Per me se va tra la perduta gente".
The choice of a restrained yet emotive expression underscores a thematic depth, making it both a sensual and contemplative work emblematic of 19th-century Romanticism and its fascination with the dark sides of human experience.
Many intellectuals, lacking the profound sense of the interpretation of symbols, have misinterpreted this sculpture and therefore have called it "The orgy". Instead, let us observe that the pubic area of the lady is covered by a rose bush. And this is just the first of a series of symbolisms in this masterpiece.
For example, one of this woman’s feet is stepping on or touching the Christian Bible. On this Bible appears the word EVANGELIUM to point out to us that in her, in the woman, is enclosed the summum evangelium.
Another important detail lies in the fact that this woman carefully protects a jug of wine with her right hand so as not to spill it. And on this jar is climbing a winged dragon or salamander with wings. It is known that such a dragon points to the Sacred Fire that comes to us when we sublimate the metaphysical coitus. The jug, in itself, is a very ancient allegory referring to the female yoni.
It is good to observe that the sofa on which the woman rests is also decorated with grotesque and monstrous shapes. This is an allusion to sex desires not dominated.
Among the flowers and plants that appear at the base of the throne or armchair on which the woman rests, a serpent can be seen raising its head and rising. Another allusion to sexual instinct not dominated.
At the feet of the armchair we see a skull, an oil lamp and a bat with open wings. The skull is the thought of death warning us that everything passes. The oil lamp symbolizes the Mercury of the sages, the creative energy. The bat represents the inner darkness that will always try to keep us in the darkness.
