Duilio Cambellotti<\/strong> (Rome 1876- 1960)<\/p>\n

In 1895 he enrolled at the Museo Artistico Industriale in Rome where he followed a course in pictorial decoration and applied drawing.<\/p>\n

In 1898 he went to Turkey with the architect Raimondo D’Aronco and decorated a pavilion for the Sultan there.<\/p>\n

Visits to the archaeological museums of Athens and Naples influenced the sculptor’s choices on his return to Rome; his first plaster casts, ceramics and illustrations combined tradition, history and myth with the modern style that had spread throughout Europe at the fall of Symbolism.<\/p>\n

In 1901 he won the Alinari competition for the illustration of the Divine Comedy.<\/p>\n
