Marcello Mascherini
1959

Marcello Mascherini was an Italian sculptor, born in Padua, who lived from 1906 to 1983.  While an extremely famous sculptor in his time, little is written about him today.  Marcello Mascherini was a prolific sculptor who made an impact on Italian art. Mascherini’s sculptures are on display in Rome at Palazzo Montecitorio where they have rested since after his death in 1969.

This particular sculpture was mentioned in Life Magazine’s “Life Guide – Art in Buildings” in 1963.

    I passed by this statue and the Mechanic Monument the other day after your write-up. I see them with a different light after seeing them in your post.
