Made in Italy with a Santini signature.
Amilcare Santini was born in 1910 near the city of Florence in Tuscany. At the age of twelve he became an appretence to the sculptor Colombini who became a major influence in his career. He traveled to Florence and attended the university where he was instrumental in developing the process of combining marble, alabaster and resin. This material is then poured into molds made by Santini - after it hardens sitting at room temperature - the figure is taken out and completely finished by hand in the very old artistic Italian tradition and style that the great masters of marble handed down through the ages. The marble and alabaster are found in the quarries near Volterra.
Amilcare Santini passed away in 1975 and now his son Nedo and grandson Alberto Santini are the third generation of the Santini family carrying on the tradition of producing these beautiful "objects d' art".
