Identity
Identity
Aside from his numerous portrait busts and memorial sculpture for private persons, he executed sculpture for three famous public monuments, the monument to Victor Emmanuel II in Perugia (1890) and for the funeral monuments of Umberto I of Italy (1900, Pantheon), and of Pope Leo XIII (1907, St John Lateran, see illustration'), in which Baroque conventions of gesture and iconography in polychrome and white marbles are combined with theatrical realism and bravura renditions of the textures of flesh and textiles. The connection between the Canova and Tadolino families is evidenced in the Canova-Tadolino Museum in Rome.
Giulio Tadolini is recorded as sculptor.
