Marcello Giorgi, Master Sculptor in the classical figurative style. Born in 1962 in Pietrasanta, a city steeped in art, traditionally recognized for the quality of the work of its master artisans and famous for the creation of marble and bronze sculptures. Pietrasanta’s enduring artistic heritage continues to this day due to the flourishing of significant works by many of today’s most influential artists. Marcello's love of the classical tradition defines him as a pre-eminent portrait sculptor. Attended the Pietrasanta Art Institute Stagio Stagi. At sixteen entered into a ten year apprenticeship at the Claudio Mariani Foundry, learning from master artisans the techniques of mould making and bronze casting. Selected in 1988 to assist the acclaimed Polish sculptor Jgor Mitoraj which gained him an in-depth understanding of figurative art and form along with the further mastery of clay modelling methods. In 1991 founded his own sculpture studio in Pietrasanta, assisting many of today's major contemporary artists, and with his extensive knowledge and experience worked on a wide range of successful collaborations. His works can currently be found in museums, public spaces and in private collections around the world.
