Pietro Bracci

He is best known for carving the marble sculpture of Oceanus at the center of Rome's Trevi Fountain, based on a plaster modello by Giovanni Battista Maini.

Bracci also designed and sculpted the polychromatic tomb of Cardinal Giuseppe Renato Imperiali (1741) in Sant'Agostino in Rome.

His best known work is the colossal Oceanus— also known as Neptune — (after 1759) of the Trevi Fountain, Rome, where he was constrained to follow a plaster modello by Giovanni Battista Maini,[1] who died before he could execute the marble.

There are several official busts of Benedict XIII by Bracci, and a terracotta (1724), conserved in Palazzo Venezia, Rome.

Like all sculptors in Rome since the 16th century, Bracci was often called upon to restore or complete Roman sculptures, such as the Capitoline Antinous, to render them suitable for display.
