A passion for sculpture!<\/b><\/h1>\n

Antique and modern sculptures in bronze, wood, terracotta, ceramic, and plaster.<\/b><\/h2>\n

Antique and modern sculptures were made with the same materials. Traditional sculptural materials include wood, stone, basalt, limestone, marble, onyx, and other types of stones.<\/span><\/p>\n

Materials used for modeling include clay, earthenware, gypsum, porcelain, ceramic, and papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9.<\/span><\/p>\n

Decorate with a neoclassical marble bust<\/b><\/h2>\n

The fascination of sculpture<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Michelangelo<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This statement, attributed to Michelangelo, renders the idea of a true artist’s task: to free the ideal form that is in nature but obscured by us humans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Removing the superfluous to find beauty belongs only to sculpture, out of the seven arts; painters, poets, and musicians create; sculptors remove<\/strong>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Another key aspect of antique marble statues as well as a modern bronze or terracotta sculpture is having three dimensions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can walk around sculptures and admire them from all angles and all directions. This is the true contemplation of beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is good reason that the words “sculpture” and “culture” are so close; both come from the word “cult” or worship, having to do with the sacred.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Egidi MadeinItaly and sculpture: selling sculpture is our art<\/h2>\n

Our extensive professional experience, which in addition to our antique shop in Rome<\/strong> includes 15 years running an antique and modern art gallery<\/strong> in Paris<\/strong>, has taught us that the most important, indispensable piece of decor is a beautiful sculpture<\/strong>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Nothing adds prestige to your home like a marble sculpture.<\/span><\/p>\n

An antique wood or bronze sculpture or a modern terracotta statue have the power to transform a space into something truly unique<\/strong>!<\/span><\/p>\n

A beautiful neoclassical marble bust combined with a pair of Gio Ponti armchairs and an Angelo Mangiarotti table: divine!<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Egidi MadeinItaly online store for antique and modern sculpture<\/b><\/h2>\n

A cart for art!<\/b><\/h3>\n

As you know, the years we spent in Paris meeting collectors and interior designers from around the world opened our minds and changed our taste in art. They also made us appreciate where we come from and to love our wonderful job and our Italian art even more.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we returned to Rome, to reach our international clients and continue offering them our unique pieces<\/strong>, we decided to enhance our website by turning it into an online store. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fill your art cart!<\/span><\/p>\n

About our sculpture store\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Each antique and modern sculpture<\/strong> in our Egidi MadeinItaly product catalog is a<\/strong> unique, original piece<\/strong> for its period.<\/span><\/p>\n

Investing in sculpture<\/b><\/h3>\n

This is very important for our customers. When you buy a sculpture, you are also investing in your future and that of your children.<\/span><\/p>\n

In my opinion, a sculpture really makes the difference in any space it is added to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Add prestige to an entrance with a beautiful marble bust of Caesar Octavian Augustus<\/a>, who later became emperor.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Neoclassical

How about in the living room<\/strong>? Perhaps a modern art sculpture like Luigi Broggini’s Ballerina<\/a>. The work was catalogued and certified by the artist’s son whom I met personally.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to neoclassical marble busts, we have early-20th-century bronze and terracotta sculptures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key pieces include sculptures made in Sicily like Bongiovanni Vaccaro’s Caltagirone<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In bronze, we are currently showcasing an important work by Francesco Messina, a beautiful horse that he signed on the base.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Antique and modern sculptures<\/b><\/h2>\n
