Starting with the case study of the two replicas of the 'Pouring satyr' from Castel Gandolfo housed at the Albertinum in Dresden, the paper discusses the recent publication of the collection's catalogue in important volumes published between 2011 and 2018. In particular, the case of the entries dedicated to the two 'Pouring satyrs' allows us to address crucial questions associated with the study of Greek and Roman statuary such as the modern interpretation (and consequently the collectionistic history and restorations) of works belonging to a same series of copies, their relationship with a lost original, and the technical aspects of 'translation' from bronze to marble.
