Studio Galleria Romanelli is one of Europe’s oldest sculpture studios still operating today. It was founded by Lorenzo Bartolini in 1829 and then his favorite pupil, Pasquale Romanelli, took over the management and ownership of the studio. In 1860, Pasquale also started an art gallery and was the first of five generations of Romanelli sculptors to run the gallery. He was followed by his son Raffaello, then came Romano, Folco and today Raffaello carries on the family tradition. Inside the studio-gallery, the works of art look like they are about to come to life and provide a truly unique artistic experience. The studio creates pieces on commission, original sculptures, replicas in plaster, bronze and marble and restores works of art.
