. The colossal equine protome exhibited at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples is known as Carafa Head or Carafa Horse because it was owned by Diomede Carafa who had it as a gift from Lorenzo De Medici called Il Magnifico. The head was part of an unfinished equestrian monument to be installed in Naples in honor of Alfonso V of Aragon. For centuries it was believed that the head was an original ancient Greek bronze. In 2019 the Carafa Head was exhibited in Matera, European Capital of Culture, in the great exhibition entitled The Renaissance seen from the South. Italian culture. Italian artistic heritage. Cultural Events. Italian Renaissance.
