Salvatore Pisani

His skills were first identified by a local engineer, Giuseppe Albonico, who through his brother, the parish priestof Tirano, contacted the wealth patron and senator, Luigi Torelli.

In 1875, he worked under Giulio Monteverde, and met Giuseppe Vitelleschi in Rome, and the next year, he was soon enrolled in the Brera Academy.

He exhibited in 1877 at Naples: Arch of Alfonso d'Aragona; in 1880 at Naples, he exhibited: a stucco statue of Sant' Ambrogio; in 1883 in Milan: The Birichino, bronze head; Wagner, stucco bust; Il dispettoso, Marble statue; and La maliziosetta.

In 1894 he sculpted the bronze monument dedicated to Giovanni Battista Piatti, found in Largo La Foppa, Milan.

For the buildings at the site, he sculpted busts of Napoleone III, Vittorio Emanuele II, and thirteen generals fallen during the wars of independence.
