Alvise Tagliapietra

Between 1705 and 1711, he and his studio carved several standing marble figures for the high altar of the Church of Saint Chrysogonus in Zadar.

"[1] Shortly thereafter, Tagliapietra was one of several Italians commissioned to contribute sculptures to the Catherine Park at Tsarskoye Selo outside of St.

[2] Another work attributed to Tagliapietra, but questioned by Norwich, is a Madonna of the Rosary in the Church of Saint Dominic in Split, Croatia.

[4] In his native Venice, his works include the statue of Temperance on the facade of the Gesuati,[5] the baptistry and pulpit sculpted in 1732 for the Church of San Moisè, and the baptistry of the Oratorio of St. Martin in Chioggia.

[6] He also produced reliefs of the Visitation (1730) and the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple (1733–34) in the Chapel of the Rosary in the Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo there.
