Biography
Carmelo Cappello was born in 1912 in Italy.
Carmelo Cappello was one of the most important Italian sculptors of the modern period. Cappello studied in Milan from 1930 and with Marino Marini in Monza.
The artistic debut of Carmelo Cappello, from Sicily, took place in 1938 with his solo exhibition in Rome at Galleria Bragaglia, followed by exhibitions in other galleries: Gianferrari, Annunciata, Il Milione, La Bussola, Schettini, Schneider, as well as his initial appearance at the Venice Biennale in 1940, where he would return with a solo room in 1958.
In 1959 he was invited to documenta II in Kassel. Starting from Marini and Moore, he later found his way to completely abstract sculptures made of circles and ellipses.
In the wake of the first abstract researches looking at Tatlin’s Russian Constructivism as well as at the works by Brancusi, Pevsner and Gabo, in February 1972 Galleria dello Scudo presents a nucleus of recently executed sculptures, performed in different materials such as chromed bronze, marble or steel, among which the Spirale in progressiva from 1971 stands out. The sculpture is 270 cm high.
Carmelo Cappello passed away in 1996.

Carmelo Cappello
Carmelo Cappello was born in Ragusa, Italy in 1912, he grew close to the Italian sculptor Ettore Colla and in the 1931 he went to Milano. Since his younger, he attended artistic studies. First he attended the Marino Marini courses at the School of Arts in Monza, Italy. In 1941 he became one friends of Giò Ponti and he started to collaborate with him. He exhibited numerous time in important exhibitions like, the Venice Biennial of Art and at the Milano Triennial of Art and also to the Quadriennial Exhibition of Art in Rome. The artist considered the Universe a not perfect circle but an irregular cosmic shape that can be observed from many points of view and every time the point of view was different. One of the basis of his structures is the curve, sometime used close to the circle and sometimes inserted into the ellipses. This vision are relevant to understand the continuous research of the artist of the equilibrium between the relations of the two-dimensional sides of the sculpture that represent the cosmos.

Bronze Sculpture by Pietro Cascella
By Pietro Cascella
Located in St.Petersburg, FL
A beautiful bronze sculpture by Italian artist Pietro Cascella, (February 2, 1921-May 18, 2008). Cascella used various materials- ceramic, bronze, cement, sand and wire netting, in the 1950s he created a number of small, tactile reliefs, sometimes adorned with surreal, biomorphic forms inspired by his friend, the Chilean artist Roberto Matta. "As well as being theatrical, much of his art has a ritualistic quality. For open-air settings, he made strange, walled structures that look like Prehistoric sanctuaries, while smaller carvings, in travertine rock, represented archetypal forms: cosmic bodies, germinating seeds, even women in childbirth. Their simplified, geometric shapes are reminiscent of the abstract sculptor Constantin Brancusi, while also looking distinctly archaic." Former collection of Ruth Ford...
