Early Life and Artistic Beginnings
Giacomo Manzù (born December 22, 1908, Bergamo, Italy—died January 17, 1991, Ardea) was an Italian sculptor who, in the mid-20th century, revived the ancient tradition of creating sculptural bronze doors for ecclesiastical buildings. His sober realism and extremely delicate modeling alternately achieved austere severity and sensuousness of form and surface, lending a new spirit of vitality to figurative bronze sculpture. He had to leave school at an early age to learn a trade, and he was apprenticed to local craftsmen who taught him to carve wood and to work in metal and stone. His father was a shoemaker and sacristan of a small parish of the Bergamo province in the North of Italy. After service in the Italian army from 1927 to 1928, Manzù went to Paris to try his luck as a sculptor, but after three weeks he collapsed from hunger and was deported back to Italy. He settled in Milan, where architect Giovanni Muzio commissioned him the decoration of the chapel of Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (1931–1932). This formative experience instilled in him a profound appreciation for craftsmanship and established his initial artistic vision—a fusion of classical ideals with expressive dynamism.
His father, Giuseppe Manzoni, was a shoemaker and sacristan.
He received minimal formal education beyond evening art classes.

Kronika italijanske modernosti: razkritje Museo del Novecento
