This essay aims to provide a detailed and up-to-date study of Auguste Rodin’s Jean d’Aire, which is part of the Milanese Civic Collection. With the support of a great deal of mostly unpublished archival documentation, the article attempts to trace the birth and definitive location of this example of the Jean d’Aire, a work intimately connected with the figure of Emilia Cimino Folliero, a painter and suffragette who worked for Rodin in the late 19th and early 20th century. It was thanks to Emilia’s loyalty and services to the French sculptor that the latter decided to give the small model of one of the characters from the Bourgeois of Calais to the Italian painter, who kept the statuette over the years, using it to gain artistic recognition in her homeland.
