Emilio Greco

Emilio Greco was an Italian realist sculptor, draftsman, writer and poet.

At the age of 13, Greco was apprenticed to a mason and later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo. His first solo exhibition took place in 1946. Emilio Greco created monumental figurative works in bronze and marble, park sculptures, primarily nude female figures and portraits. His sculptures are characterized by refined, elongated forms in the tradition of Italian mannerism. Notable among them is the monument to the character Pinocchio (Pinocchio and the Fairy) for the town of Collodi.

Greco also designed one of the bronze doors of the cathedral in Orvieto and the monument to Pope John XXIII in St. Peter's Basilica. In 1974, a Greco Garden dedicated to his works was opened at the Open Air Museum in Hakone, Japan.
