Giuseppe Armani- About the Artist

Giuseppe Armani was born in Caci, near Pisa, in 1935. Young Giuseppe, like many children, loved to draw. Unlike most children, however, drawing was practically his only game. Every day Giuseppe sketched his discoveries of life. His home was filled with drawings of imaginary places, country scenes, real friends, imaginary playmates and all the subjects that delight young boys. Nearly everyone was impressed with the young artist's work. It was colorful and fresh. Giuseppe's unbridled talent fascinated his father. His teachers also, observing his obvious skill, encouraged him in his attempts.

Armani's father realized that his son's talent was greater than just a mere ability to reproduce subjects, and fully perceiving his artistic sensitivity, it was decided that he would attend the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, so that he might develop his natural talent.

Unfortunately for Giuseppe, his father died before their plans could materialize, and he was forced to abandon this project for more practical family needs. The memory of his father's confidence in him inspired the young artist to study on his own, which was not easy. Caci is a small town not offering much to study.

Giuseppe's professional career began when a priest in a local church organized a small exhibition of works by young artists. Armani entered a classically inspired male torso, and his work was greatly admired for its extraordinary anatomical precision. When the torso was taken to an art gallery in Pisa, Armani was hired immediately to work there on a permanent basis.

Working in Pisa, for the first time Armani had a chance to admire some of the great masterpieces of the Renaissance personally, and he was captivated by those classics. He spent hours contemplating and understanding their secrets.

He began traveling around Tuscany, ever eager for more artistic stimulation, looking for any work of art from the past, from the famous masterpieces in Florence to the inconspicuous minor frescoes of a remote church hidden in the country.

Giuseppe Armani's unique and individual style is probably due to the this solitary research, not affected by any instructional prejudice: the art he developed was entirely the result of his personal relationship with the Masters of the past.

During the time Armani worked in the art gallery in Pisa, he sculpted in various materials such as marble, alabaster, wood and clay, and became most appreciated by countless art lovers from around the world who visited the galler. His reputation as an artist started and grew during his tenure there.

In 1975, Florence Sculture d'Arte and Giuseppe Armani commenced their extraordinary and exclusive relationship, which created a unique opportunity of sharing with people of different cultures and traditions the emotions and the feelings of creating works of art.

Giuseppe remained exclusively at the Florence Sculture d'Arte till his passing in 2006. For all his fame, Giuseppe never wondered far from his roots. He generally worked in a studio attached to his house, sculpting in isolation to the same ancient rhythms of the old Masters.
