This came to the Louvre through one of Orsini’s later partners in the Nemi excavation after his break with Savile.

I”m resisting doing a deep dive on Tyszkiewicz at Nemi this very moment but the realization that his letters document his experience at Nemi makes me even more eager to get my hands on Savile’s own papers. Surely someone in my network knows Kazimierczak and might offer me an introduction to her. I’d love to review the letters specifically about Nemi.
The following items are said to be from the lake Nemi and came to the Louvre in 1900 from Martinetti, Angelo and
Morel, François. Neither name means anything to me yet and the bibliography of the museum doesn’t seem to help with find spot details beyond confirming that the objects were associated with this location as early as 1901.
Alessandro Castellani was the source of this charming little statuette group in 1896 also said to be from Nemi. It was exhibited in Copenhagen for show focusing on Nemi Bronzes (I wonder if there is a catalogue from that show in 2014).
Besides these objects most things associated with Nemi at the Louvre are early modern landscapes. I did stumble on the archaeological artist GESLIN Jean Charles whose drawings are very compelling but unrelated to my present work.
