Guglielmo Pugi (1850 -1915)

Guglielmo Pugi , born in Fiesole , Tuscany , is a representative sculptor of Art-Nouveau in Italy .
From 1870 until his death , Gugielmo Pugi lived in Florence , where he ran a sculpture workshop with the help of his two sons , Gino and Fiorenzo .

His sculptures carved directly from Carrara marblewere mostly made for export to the United States .
Several of these were displayed at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo , as well as at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair .
We owe him many Art-Nouveau sculptures , as well as many portraits , but also the bust of "King Humbert I" on the Main Square of Fiesole .

Upon his death , his two sons continued their father's Workshop , changing the name " Guglielmo i figli " (and son) to " Fratelli G. e F. Pugi " (Brothers G. and F. Pugi) as well as the signature "Pugi" by " Flli Pugi ".
