Description
Giovanni Insom died in Florence in 1855. He was a sculptor from Casez (1775), an appreciated alabaster and marble sculptor who grew up artistically in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, in the Florentine Academy. This biography is dedicated to him and is based on the master's thesis of the young scholar Chiara Radice. An interesting book, also a starting point for future in-depth studies on the sector of sculptural activity made up of furnishing objects and artistic productions in Tuscany in the first half of the 19th century. It is also an important book because it demonstrates the effective collaboration created between the Soprintendenza per i Beni Storico-artistici and the academic world, in this case the Faculty of Literature and Philosophy of the University of Florence.
