Antonio Giovanni Lanzirotti was an Italian sculptor, he studied in Palermo until 1848, when he joined the Sicilian revolution of 1848, militating under General Ignazio Ribotti. When the insurrection failed, he was imprisoned in Castel Sant'Elmo in Naples, where during his imprisonment he was first sentenced to death and later pardoned. He was exiled from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and went to Turin, where he served as a grenadier for a year.

In 1860 he joined Garibaldi's movement, was taken prisoner at Cap Corse, imprisoned for two months in Gaeta, then returned to Paris. There he completed: Punished Love, The Dance, the Mausoleum of Count Tyzhieviez, A Bather, which he exhibited at the Salon, Pleasure, Madness and many busts and portraits, including those of Cassagnac, M. Girardin, Doctor Armand Trousseau, writer Pierre Beaumarchais, of King Umberto I.
