Creator: Gianni Vigorelli
Offered by: Blend Roma

Description
Gianni Vigorelli (Tormo, 1916 – Lodi, 1998) was an Italian sculptor.

Born in Crespiatica, near Tormo, he was a student of Francesco Messina at the Brera Academy and a friend of Ettore Archinti and Fausto Locatelli.

After the end of World War II, he moved to Milan; in 1967, he returned to Lodi, setting up his studio in the chapel of Palazzo Barni.

A shy personality, he declined an invitation to exhibit at the 23rd Venice Biennale in 1942 and a teaching position at the Brera Art School in 1964. His best-known work is the monument to the Resistance in Lodi, inaugurated in 1967.

He died in Lodi in 1998.
The chairs, that have been carefully restored, have been upholstered with a wool fabric by Dedar.
