Carla Lavatelli was born in Rome, Italy, in 1928 - (January 18, 2006) was an Italian-American artist whose career spanned five decades, from the 1950s into the early 2000s. HerShe spent much of her childhood in different parts of Africa.She returned to Italy at the end of the World War II to study literature at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. In Venice she met and married an American man and moved to California. She subsequently divorced and returned to Italy, where she settled in Rome and began a practice of creating sculptural portraits. A self-taught artist, Lavatelli was commercially successful, securing several important commissions for notable sitters, including Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco, and her three children in 1969. In 1981, she married former Italian Formula 1 racecar driver Roberto Vallone and relocated to Harris County in Texas. In the late 1960s and early 70s, Lavatelli participated in the “Officina Cidonio,” a non-profit organization in the Tuscan town of Pietrasanta for artists who sculpt in stone founded by Erminio Cidonio. Cidonio had previously invited prominent sculptors such as Henry Moore, Jacques Lipchitz and Jean Arp to have their work enlarged in the Henraux workshops in Querceta in the 1950s. In Pietrasanta, Lavatelli, the only female artist invited, worked alongside famed sculptor Isamu Noguchi and met with Moore, Lipschitz and Marino Marini. Upon Cidonio's death in 1971, Lavatelli purchased and restored a 16th-century olive mill in the nearby town of Camaiore, which became her home and studio for the next four decades.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Lavatelli worked primarily in the United States. In 1968–69, she exhibited her sculptural works, including her fountain “The Rainbow,” at the Palm Beach Galleries in Palm Beach, Florida. She also had a series of exhibitions of her work at the Selected Artists Gallery in New York in 1968 and 1970.In 1972 Alexander Iolas exhibited her entire studio in his gallery in Manhattan. In the mid-1970s, Lavatelli worked with the Gimpel & Weizenhoffer Gallery, where she showed her granite and marble pieces as well several floor sculptures. Between 1976 and 1996 she had a studio in SoHo at 140 Thompson Street. Many of the abstract works that Lavatelli produced with Cidonio at the Officina in Pietrasanta were exhibited in major museums in the early 1970s. In 1972, Lavatelli's sculptures were exhibited at the Hakone Open-Air Museum in Hakone, Japan, which subsequently acquired one of her works for its permanent collection. Two years later, six of Lavatelli's sculptures were exhibited at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C
