Tullo Golfarelli

[1] In 1875, thanks to a subsidy from the municipality of Cesena, he was able to move to Rome, where he worked in the studios of a sculptor named Gagliardi.

By the end of the 1880s, he had become part of the Bolognese cultural circle, where he formed life-long relationships with Giosuè Carducci and Giovanni Pascoli.

[4] Always striving to improve his technique, he worked with Salvino Salvini at the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna.

Notable ones include Giuseppe Garibaldi, to be placed in Perugia (1885), and Christopher Columbus, destined for New York City (1890).

By January 1923, his failing health had forced him to give up all of his academic positions, leaving him with severe economic problems.
