Angelo Zanelli
Statue of the Republic

He was born at San Felice del Benaco, near Brescia. In 1904 he moved to Rome, where he met Felice Carena. He won the contract for the realization of sculptures in the large Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II in the same city, to which he worked until 1925. They include the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the statue of Goddess Rome.

He usually worked for public commissions, also abroad.

gollark: The old one had a removable battery, the new one (which is also pretty old at this point) does *not* and the battery is quite fried, so I should replace it SOON™.
gollark: My previous phones have been in the £100 ballpark and pretty okay for what I need.
gollark: And... 400$ is quite a lot, but we're just used to stupidly high phone prices now apparently.
gollark: Oreo is indeed outdated.
