Il Pittore delle Rondini. Due recuperi del Comando Carabinieri tutela patrimonio culturale
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The paper presents two vases of the so-called Swallow Painter, which have been brought back to Italy from Switzerland thanks to two brilliant interventions conducted by the Carabinieri Headquarters for the Protection of Cultural Heritage. The first vase is a dinos, which can be identified as the specimen that Robert Manuel Cook – in the monograph East Greek Pottery published in 1998 together with Pierre Dupont – signalled “on the London market” already in 1996; the second vase is an unpublished oinochoe, which raises up to 12 the number of vases to be assigned for the moment to this painter. The two vases perfectly fit in the production of this artisan, recognized almost unanimously, since the late Prof. Antonio Giuliano identified him in 1963, as a painter of Eastern-Greek origin working in Vulci during the last quarter of the 7th century BCE. The two vases confirmed the hybrid nature of his production and offered the opportunity to reconsider, even if concisely and in an inevitably conjectural form, some issues regarding the reconstruction of the artisan context in which he carried out his activity. As a matter of fact, many works attributable to the Swallow Painter show “accidents” occurred during moulding or firing (the most significative example being the oinochoe presented here, bearing cracks and air bubbles, definitely indicating a firing mistake). Was the Swallow Painter in the meantime a painter and a (poorly gifted) potter and kilnmaster? Or was he working with local inexperienced potters and kilnmasters?

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
