Biography:
Ugo CIPRIANI 1887 / 1960
Ugo Cipriani, born in Florence, Italy on August 13, 1887, and died in Paris on June 18, 1960, is an Italian sculptor. Son of the sculptor Adolfo Cipriani and Emilia Pancani, Ugo Cipriani is the fifth child of a family of nine. He lives in the Oltrarno district, in Borgo San Frediano. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Ugo Cipriani worked with marble, terracotta, bronze and alabaster in the spirit of the Art Deco movement of the 1920s. One of his best-known works, a bronze monument (1919) to the Italian nationalist and irredentist Guglielmo Oberdan, is located in the square of the same name in Florence. In 1935, Ugo Cipriani emigrated to France to escape Mussolini's fascist regime. He lived in Paris as a political refugee and continued to create there until his death in 1960.
A very prolific sculptor in France, certain clues revealed by his daughter Lydia and his son Gabriel suggest that he used pseudonyms such as Menneville and Uriano.
