Tadolini

Tadolini refers primarily to a family of Italian sculptors active in Rome during the 19th century, most notably:

• Adamo Tadolini (1788-1868): He was a prominent sculptor, a student of Antonio Canova, and known for his neoclassical style. He produced portrait busts, statues, and monuments. His studio was a significant artistic hub in Rome.

• Scipione Tadolini (1822-1892): Son of Adamo Tadolini, he continued the family tradition of sculpture, working in a similar neoclassical style and inheriting the family studio.

• Giulio Tadolini (dates unknown): Another member of the family and a sculptor, less well-known than Adamo and Scipione, but contributing to the family's artistic legacy.

The Tadolini family's work contributed significantly to the artistic landscape of 19th-century Rome. The Museo Atelier Canova Tadolini in Rome, housed in the former studio, now displays a collection of sculptures by Canova and the Tadolini family, offering insights into their artistic production and the neoclassical movement. The name "Tadolini" is therefore closely associated with a specific lineage of sculptors and their artistic output, particularly within the context of 19th-century Roman art.
