About Vincenzo

Florentine sculptor, Vincenzo Romanelli represents the fifth generation of Romanelli family sculptors. 

In 2006, Vincenzo enrolled in classes at Charles H. Cecil, a well-known fine art school based above his family’s sculpture gallery. Here, he undertook formal traditional training, mastering the sight-size technique. After five years in the family gallery, he sought an outside experience in the art world. Vincenzo worked for two years for a British Fine Art foundry where he acquired a deeper knowledge of the lost wax casting method.

Vincenzo is well versed in all phases of his chosen artistic path, and is personally involved at every stage of every single piece he creates, from clay modelling to creating the negative mould, working the wax to creating the patina. Vincenzo’s sculptures are cast in bronze as limited editions, signed, dated and numbered.

Starting initially with human portraiture, Vincenzo was drawn to animals, finding the diversity of the animal kingdom captivating. The choice to specialise in animals is also undoubtedly a consequence of an upbringing in the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by the resident wildlife. Vincenzo’s love and respect for nature and wild environments underpin his work.

Vincenzo splits his time between Tuscany and the Swiss Alps. When in Tuscany, he sculpts in the family's historical atelier at Number 70 Borgo San Frediano, Florence. Where possible Vincenzo works from life, so he spends a great deal of time sculpting in the outdoors and travels for commissions.
