Raffaello Romanelli

Raffaello Romanelli, an Italian sculptor, (May 13, 1856 - 1928) born in Florence, Italy. He studied with his father Pasquale Romanelli (1812 - 1887), who in turn had studied with the sculptor Bartolini. He continued his studies at the Florence Academy with Augusto Rivalta and Emilio Zocchi, both well respected academians of the time. Romanelli later taught at the Academy. Raffaello's son was sculptor Carlo Romanelli.

His works include the Monument to Carol I of Romania, located at Peleş Castle, a Monument to Czar Alexander II in Russia , the equestrian Garibaldi Monument in Siena, Italy (ca. 1896) and a monument to John Wister (1903) [Fairmont Park Association, "Sculpture of a City – Philadelphia’s Treasures in Bronze and Stone", Fairmont Park Association, Walker Publishing Co., Inc, NY.
