Antonio Berti (sculptor)

[2] The writer Ugo Ojetti, had the opportunity to see some of Berti's works in clay, and advised his father Angiolo to enroll him at the Santa Croce Institute of Art in Florence.

He created busts of various members of the Italian royal family (Victor Emmanuel III, Marie-José of Belgium, etc.).

He also sculpted busts of Mussolini, Paola Ojetti [it], and the American billionaires Barbara Hutton[3] and Susanna Agnelli.

[6] After the Second World War, Berti was commissioned to create monuments to many famous people, including to Alcide De Gasperi in Trento (working with Sergio Benvenuti [it]).

In the 1980s Berti made some commemorative medals, commissioned by Rodolfo Siviero, for the inauguration of the exhibition of works found after the war.
