Valerio Cioli, or Cigoli or Giogoli (1529-1599) was an Italian sculptor

Works

His most famous work is the "Fontana del Bacchino" in the Giardino di Boboli, near the entrance to piazza Pitti in Florence. It shows a dwarf at the court of Cosimo I, ironically nicknamed "Morgante" (the giant of the poem "Morgante" by Luigi Pulci), portrayed nuded and sitting on a tortoise like a drunken Bacchus. Two more of Cioli's works (collaborations with Giovanni Simone Cioli) are to be found in the giardino di Boboli - the "Uomo che vanga" (digging man) and the "Uomo che scarica il secchio in un tino" (man emptying a bucket into a vat).

Other works of his include a "Satyr with a flask" in the Museo del Bargello and sculptures of personifications of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture on the tomb of Michelangelo Buonarroti in the basilica of Santa Croce.
