Antonello Gagini

Antonello Gagini (1478–1536) was an Italian sculptor of the Renaissance, mainly active in Sicily and Calabria.

Antonello had five sons who were sculptors: Antonio (or Antonino; 1510s-1574),[1] Fazio (1520s-1567), Giacomo (1517–1598), Giandomenico (1503-1560s), and Vicenzo (1527–1595).

Antonello is said to have aided Michelangelo[2] in the sculptural work on the massive tomb of Pope Julius II in San Pietro in Vincoli, a project now known for the statue of Moses.

One of Antonio Gagini's most notable works is the decorated arch in the Capella della Madonna in the Santuario dell'Annunziata in Trapani which he completed in 1537.

In the Chiesa dell’Addolorata in Soverato Superiore, Calabria there is the "Pietà", a representation of Mary and her dead son.
