==History==
The statuette was unearthed in 1925 by a farmer, Olindo Zambelli, who was digging outside his stable in the locality of ''Prà Martino'', under the ''frazione'' of ''Mulino'', itself within the ''comune'' of Savignano sul Panaro.〔 He found the statuette under c. of Late Pleistocene fluvial deposits.〔 Zambelli cleaned and kept the “old stone” despite his wife's advice to throw it away; eventually, he showed it to a local painter and sculptor, Giuseppe Graziosi, who realized the importance of the find and managed to obtain it from the farmer in exchange for two hundred kilograms of grapes.〔
The new owner then showed the figurine to his son Paolo Graziosi, at the time a young student of archaeology, who published a paper on it. In 1926, Giuseppe Graziosi donated the figurine to the Pigorini National Museum of Prehistory and Ethnography in Rome, which stills holds the figurine today.〔''Archivio per l'antropologia e la etnologia'' 57–58 (1929), p. 243; the figurine was handed over to Arduino Colasanti.〕 A replica is housed in the ''Museo della Venere e dell'Elefante'' at Savignano sul Panaro. The ''elephant'' of the museum's title refers to the other major find near Savignano that is also housed there, a fossil female specimen of ''Mammuthus meridionalis'' dating to 1.5 Ma. The original figurine was temporarily loaned to Savignano from 5 April to 4 May 2014 for exhibition within the project "Savignano, Città dell'Archeologia". The exhibition recorded 3,215 visitors, although the museum was only open in the mornings during the weekdays.〔(Associazione culturale ''Ponte Alto – Giuseppe Graziosi'' ).〕
