Italian ceramics artist and sculptor Eugenio Pattarino studied under Giovanni Fattori and was known for his large-scale religious statues. He was born in Florence in 1885, and he studied art there as well as in Venice and Frankfurt. At his studio near Ponte Vecchio Bridge he designed earthenware, ceramic, and terracotta pottery in addition to his sculptures. Pattarino\'s ceramic pottery and sculpting reflected his love for modern, traditional, and antique styles. Sculptor Pattarino retired in the 1966 after a flood destroyed the bulk of the designs, master molds, and models in his studio, making his work rare and hard to find. Marble, terracotta, and enameled terracotta Eugenio Pattarino figural sculptures display his skill with both Realist and Abstract methods of sculpting.
