(Morciano, Italia, 1926)
He begins to study Architecture and Scenography and to make jewellery, just like his brother Gio, later he devotes himself to sculpture. He currently lives in Milan. He takes part in the most important exhibitions. International Sculpture Prize at the Sao Paulo Biennial (1963) and National Sculpture Prize at the Venice Biennial. He mainly works with bronze. He uses a few simple basic forms – tall columns, large spheres and rectangular shapes, in relief or free-standing. Modelled in plaster and cast in bronze, they are smooth forms, with highly polished areas and indented openings full of intricate detail. The columns and spheres look as if an explosion had destroyed complicated, beautifully finished machines and exposed the intricate internal mechanisms. Newly shaped discs, elaborated in mathematical detail, are transformed in Double Doubt (1965); the iconography of the machine, or more explicitly of the computer, is confirmed in the titles: The Mathematician’s Table, Homage to the Cosmonaut and The Table of Memory.
