Satyrs reveling
Campana dinoi frequently depict dancing men or satyrs, subjects appropriate for wine-mixing vessels. They are likely the products of Etruscanized East Greek artists who set up workshops in Southern Etruria in the late sixth century B.C. The style derives its name from the Marchese Giovanni Campana (1808-1880), an Italian banker, amateur archaeologist, and collector, who once owned several examples.
