Giacomo Manzù (Bergamo, 1908 - Ardea, 1991), pseudonym of Giacomo Manzoni, was a famous italian artist and sculptor. He devoted himself to sculpture, but also to drawings, etchings and paintings, often centered on female models, painters, female dancers and lovers’ figures. His works are valued also abroad, where, as well as in Italy, he exhibited from 1933. He also won several italian and international prizes thanks to his famous works and his importance in art field. His works are exposed in several museums, like Vatican Museums and Giacomo Manzù Museum in Ardea.
The mythology is one of the dear themes in Manzù production. He also beautifully designed sets and costumes of drama tragedy Oedipus Rex by Igor Stravinskij, performed in 1964.
