Basso-rilievi is a Italian term that means "low-relief." This term is commonly used in sculpture to describe three-dimensional art that is created with a shallow depth. Basso-rilievi sculptures typically have a flat background with raised figures, textures, and patterns that are carved or molded into the surface. Synonyms for basso-rilievi include low relief, bas-relief, bas-relief sculpture, low-relief sculpture, and shallow relief. Each of these terms can be used to describe art that is created with a similar technique and style. Basso-rilievi sculptures are often found in architecture, on tombstones, or in decorative pieces. Although they are not as prominent as high-relief sculptures, they still maintain an important place in art history and appreciation.
