On Jan 17, 2020, a larger version of the two statues were unveiled in Da Vinci's birthplace of Vinci in Italy.

In May 2023, Antonio Di Tommaso, the head of the sculpture academy at the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, donated one of his sculptures to the National Art Museum of China, which was shown at exhibitions to commemorate the Chinese museum's 60th anniversary.

Several of Tommaso's works, including this one, are now on display at the exhibition, Thoughts in the Heart.

Twelve works will be added to the collection of the National Art Museum of China after the exhibition ends.
