Ignazio Collino
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ignazio Collino (1736–1793) was an Italian sculptor, active in the late-Baroque period, mainly in the region of the Piedmont.
Along with his brother, Filippo Collino (1737-1801), Ignazio worked in a restrained formal style, intermediate between Baroque and Neoclassicism. A royal subsidy provided by Carlo Emanuele III of Savoy enabled him to apprentice in sculpture with François Ladatte and in drawing with Claudio Francesco Beaumont. He was sent to Rome in 1754 to work with fellow-Lombard Giovanni Battista Maini, who was a trainee of Camillo Rusconi. In Rome, he copied many antique originals. In 1767, they relocated back to Turin to run the school of sculpture. He provided much sculpture for royal tombs of the House of Savoy at the Basilica of Superga, including the Monument for Carlo Emanuele III (1733). Giovanni Battista Bernero was one of his pupils.
