Painted terracotta sculptural group by Angelo Piò, depicting the Virgin Mary, the baby Jesus, Saint Anthony, and cherubs. Bologna, 18th century. Angelo Gabriello Piò (Bologna, 1690 – Bologna, 1769) was an Italian sculptor active in Bologna in the Rococo movement. He studied with Andrea Ferreri from 1711 to 1712 and was also a pupil of Giuseppe Maria Mazza. After 1718, he studied in Rome with Camillo Rusconi. In 1721, Piò became a member of the Accademia Clementina in Bologna and worked with some of the leading Bolognese architects of the time. Piò primarily used stucco and colored terracotta, working in the Emilian Rococo style. He used these materials due to the scarcity of stone and marble, but was able to closely imitate stone sculpture. His works primarily concerned religious, allegorical, or mythological subjects. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
