Antonio Pandiani (1838-1928) - famous Milanese sculptor, brother of the sculptor Constantino Pandiani (1837-1922). He presented his sculptures on several occasions in exhibitions organized by the Berera Academy in Milan. He managed the foundry from 1886 and created numerous neoclassical and academic sculptures, which are today in many collections and museums, such as his bust of Alessandro Manzoni in the collection of the GAM in Milan or the bust of the queen Victoria dating from 1890, which is now at Anglesey Abbey. In addition to figurines, its casting also made it possible to make decorative bronze objects such as candlesticks and vases.
