Amadeo Gennarelli was a pupil of various famous Italian painters and sculptors, most notably Auguste René Rodin ( 1840 – 1917) in Paris.
He befriended the Swiss sculptor Auguste Rodo de Niederhausen (1863-1913) and during this time he worked carving marble in his atelier. Gennarelli also worked with the Hebrard foundry learning bronze casting techniques.
In Paris Gennarelli displayed at the Salon of 1913 for the first time and continued to exhibit with great success until 1938.
