Classic example of the work of the sculptor "the mighty animaliere", as he was called by Gabriele D'Annunzio, famous since the early years of '900 for this unique ability to represent nature and animals with accuracy and detail definition.

This bronze turkey reveals in its rich plumage the careful analysis of the animal that shows the passion of the sculptor for the vision of the true nature, with a meticulous definition of the details.

In 1913 Leandro Ozzola shows us all the peculiarities of figurative vision of the work of Brozzi: "The Brozzi observes the animals with the care and love of the intellect of a Chinese and a Japanese. He analyses the bodies of his subjects with care and a minutia, I think he does not have examples in the contemporary art.".
