Giuseppe Sartorio

Giuseppe Sartorio (Boccioleto, Province of Vercelli, 1854 – Mar Tirreno, September 20, 1922) was an Italian sculptor.

Not only performs funerary monuments but also completes: the statues of Saints Peter and Paul for the church of Cuglieri, the war memorial for Italian Independence in Cagliari, the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II in Sassari, the statues of the three local benefactors of the parish church of Ittireddu, and others throughout Sardinia.

In 1884 at the Exhibition of Fine Arts in Turin, he displayed a marble group portrait, commissioned by signora Rosa Masarelli; Odalisque, and a stucco Study of Expression.

Among his church commissions were the statues of St Peter and Paul for Cuglieri, the Monument to the Fallen in the Wars of Independence in Cagliari; and a Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II in piazza Italia of Sassari, and three large statues of benefactors of a parish church of Ittireddu.
