Pietro Cascella

Pietro Cascella (February 2, 1921; Pescara, Italy – May 18, 2008; Pietrasanta, Italy) was an Italian painter and sculptor who lived in Verrucola. He is noted for his Carrara marble sculptures and his paintings, which often hark back to impressionism and post-impressionism. He created monumental sculptures for locations as varied as the Auschwitz death camp and Silvio Berlusconi's underground mausoleum.

He lived in a medieval castle.
