- Ignazio Collino
Ignazio Collino (1736–1793) was an Italian sculptor, active in the late-
Baroque period, mainly in the region of thePiedmont .Along with his brother,
Filippo Collino (1737-1801), Ignazio worked in a restrained formal style, intermediate between Baroque andNeoclassicism . A royal subsidy provided by Carlo Emanuele III of Savoy enabled him to apprentice in sculpture withFrançois Ladatte and in drawing withClaudio Francesco Beaumont . He was sent to Rome in 1754 to work with fellow-LombardGiovanni Battista Maini , who was a trainee ofCamillo 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 theBasilica of Superga , including the "Monument for Carlo Emanuele III" (1733).Giovanni Battista Bernero was one of his pupils.External links
