From the moment young Giuseppe could pick up a pencil, he drew.
He drew everything he saw.
He drew everyone he knew.
He drew all day long.
And it wasn't long before his parents and teachers saw he had The Gift.
In 1975, Florence Sculpture D'Arte, recognizing Armini's genius,
offered him the opportunity to work exclusively for them.
He was encouraged to give free rein to his artistic muse.
For nearly 30 years Armani has created masterpieces ranging
from the traditional Capodimante style to the more daring, contemporary and whimsical sculptures.
Always and remarkably, Giuseppe Armani's figurines have the spark of life,
and his breathtaking realism continues to amaze his many admirers the world over.
Each and every one of the high quality cold cast porcelain figurine from Guiseppe Armani
is hand painted and the painting process itself is known only to
Pietro Ravenni and the supervisors of painting at Florence Sculture d'Arte.
The pieces are unique and breathtaking in their beauty and complexity.
