Sirio Tofanari was born in Florence on April 9, 1886. Tofanari is recognized as one of the foremost sculptors of the Animalier movement in Italy. He was trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. He took part from 1909–34 in all editions of the Venice Biennale, while in the Rome Quadriennale, an entire pavilion was dedicated to him. His works can be admired in keynote galleries both in Italy and abroad like Rome, Florence, Paris, London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, Bahia Blanca, Santa Fe, Rio de Janeiro and San Paolo. In 1949, the President of the Republic issued a decree appointing him a member of the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. Tofanari died on October 12, 1969, in Milan.
