Among the artistic genres, sculpture fascinates me because of the complexity of its techniques and the skill required for its execution. Among sculptors of the past, my favourite is definitely Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598 – 1680).
The son of a sculptor, he showed great talent and a strong temperament from a very young age. He was the leading Baroque artist and contributed to the Baroque renovation of the city of Rome, producing works that expressed all the strength and power of the Church.
