Ivo Pacini

[2] Pacini received his artistic training in the workshop of Vincenzo Pasquali, a well-known sculptor in the city, and created his first works between the 1910s and 1920s.

[4] There is no trace remaining of other documented youth works, such as the busts of Mazzini, Bovio, Carducci, and Socci, as well as the plaque for engineer Tosini of the Croce d'Oro.

Some know he is a marble worker because they've seen him square the sill of a window or carve a stone for cemeteries; others think he's a stonecutter because they see him working with a chisel on a block of granite.

Thanks to the frequent visits from intellectuals like Guelfo Civinini and Vincenzo Cardarelli, as well as established painters like Paride Pascucci and Memo Vagaggini, Ivo Pacini's workshop became a center of cultural debate.

[7] Sculptors and painters such as Tolomeo Faccendi and Carlo Gentili developed their skills at Pacini's, and it was also regularly frequented by artists from other cities, such as Renzo Capezzuoli from Siena and Pietro Pagliani from Modena.
