* Santibelli
Santibelli" are statuettes generally around forty centimetres high. Moulded in terracotta, but also in plaster from Italy, they are painted in very bright colors, sometimes sprinkled with glitter, or gilded with gold leaf. The origins of the statuettes' names are hard to pin down: here, we're reminded of a typical Marseilles nickname for the "Santibelli", the benêt de service, the sympathetic and not very quick-witted fool. Here, we imagine that "Santibelli" comes from the cry uttered by the Italian salesmen who, according to tradition, peddled these objects: "Santi... Belli...", like a street cry, which in a shorthand would have come to designate these statuettes sold by auction.
