Biography :
Ugo CIPRIANI 1887 / 1960
Ugo Cipriani, born in Florence, Italy, on August 13, 1887, and died in Paris on June 18, 1960, was an Italian sculptor.
Son of sculptor Adolfo Cipriani and Emilia Pancani, Ugo Cipriani was the fifth of nine siblings. He lives in the Oltrarno district, at Borgo San Frediano.
After studying at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, Ugo Cipriani worked in marble, terracotta, bronze and alabaster in the spirit of the Art Deco movement of the 1920s. One of his best-known works, a bronze monument (1919) to the Italian nationalist and irredentist Guglielmo Oberdan, stands in Florence's piazza of the same name.
In 1935, Ugo Cipriani emigrated to France to escape Mussolini's Fascist regime. He lived in Paris as a political refugee, where he continued to create until his death in 1960. A prolific sculptor in France, clues revealed by his daughter Lydia and son Gabriel suggest that he used pseudonyms such as Menneville and Uriano.
