Giuseppe Armani sculpted to the same ancient rhythms as the old Masters, who inspired him to create modern masterpieces. He had a unique ability to put character and soul into his works.

In 1975, Florence Sculture d’Arte, recognizing Armani’s genius, invited him to work exclusively for them. He was encouraged to give free rein to his artistic muse. For more than 25 years Armani created masterpieces ranging from the traditional Capodimonte style to the more daring, contemporary and whimsical sculptures. Always and remarkably, Giuseppe Armani’s figurines had the spark of life.

Giuseppe Armani described his credo this way: “Although I consider myself a direct descendant of the Renaissance heritage, I believe that an artist has to follow his own evolution and not be solely a remnant of the past, as glorious as the past may have been. I am continually compelled to discover new and better means of expression.”

Armani passed away October 28, 2006 from a massive stroke. He will be missed.
