Details

Italian sculptor. He studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti, then moved to Rome to study with Pietro Tenerani. In 1864, the young artist received the commission for the funeral monument of the Giulay family. In the same year he won the Grand Prix of Rome. From 1870 he is professor of anatomy at the Scuola Veneta d'Arte, and from 1879 professor at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice. In 1880 he executes the bronze monument to Titian in Pieve di Cadore, the birthplace of the artist. Three years later he produces the monument to Carlo Goldoni, the greatest playwright of the eighteenth century. The capabilities demonstrated in the commemorative sculpture are probably the basis for the commission for the portrait of Victor Emmanuel II, commissioned for the ground floor of the tower of San Martino. He continued his activity in the production of marble and bronze portraits dedicated to great political, literary and artistic personages, the last monument representing the Doge Sebastiano Veniero in Venice (1907). Dal Zotto was one of the active promoters of what would become the International Art Exhibition of the City of Venice. //
