VANNI LUCA

Luca Vanni, a sculptor, model maker and restorer, inherited from his father Antonio, the heir of an ancient family of kiln owners, the passion for handcrafting the Impruneta clay. Their speciality is the production of vivacious bas-reliefs representing scenes of country life, of traditional farming activities or of Florence’s monuments and squares, sometimes enriched with a lively polychromy obtained through cold colouring. Luca Vanni has executed reliefs for numerous churches and convents in Tuscany and some of his works have been placed in one of the squares of Sarajevo, rebuilt, after the wartime destruction, in Impruneta terracotta.
