Bruno Innocenti
Bassorilievo celebrativo allegorico in bronzo dell'aviazione italiana

Metà del XX secolo

About the Item

This bronze relief ( 29 x 29 cm, plexiglass pedestal 41 x 41 cm) is a model for a commemorative medal dedicated to the Italian Air Force. At the centre there is the Allegory of the Italian Air Force-portrayed as a flying woman reminding of an ancient Nike-carrying a shield with the face of the Gorgon Medusa, probable reference to the Goddess Athena. On the right, the skyline of the Milan Cathedral and of the Bologna’s towers named Asinelli and Garisend. Bruno Innocenti was a pupil and a collaborator of Libero Andreotti. When Andreotti died, Innocenti took his place as Sculpting Professor at the Art Institute of Florence, where he continue teaching until 1975. Between 1925 and 1949, he took part in lot of exhibitions in several Italian cities and an entire room was dedicated to him at the Venice Biennale in 1938. In 1946, Innocenti lived in the United States for about a year. In New York, that year, he exhibited at the Architectural League and, a few years later, he took part in a collective exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum. From the 1950s he stopped exhibiting and devoted himself entirely to artistic production and teaching. He also produced several monumental works in Milan, Pisa, Florence and Maratea. The Florentine Academy of the Arts of Drawing, of which he was a life-long member, organized an exhibition of his drawings and sculpture in the 1985 and, after his death, another exhibition at the Department of Prints and Drawings of the Uffizi Gallery celebrated his works.
