Michelangelo Naccherino

He supposedly was a pupil of Giambologna in Florence, but due to disagreements moved to the Kingdom of Naples in 1573.

Returning to Naples, he completed a number of Mannerist projects such as the tomb of Alfonso Sanchez (1588–89) in the Basilica of Santissima Annunziata Maggiore and a crucifix (1599) for the church of San Carlo all'Arena.

In the early 1600s, he participated in a variety of projects, including the Fontana di Santa Lucia and the Fontana del Gigante (along with Pietro Bernini).

In 1612, he completed some tombs in the church of Santo Stefano in Capri, and in 1616, he returned to Florence to sculpt an ‘’Adam and Eve’’ for the Boboli Gardens.

Among those who worked with him were Giuliano Finelli, Francesco Cassano, Tommaso Montani, Angelo Landi, and Mario Marasi.
