Italiano · English studio overview

Commission a bronze portrait bust with Violi Art Studio, an Italian sculpture studio based in Milan. Sculptor Fortunato Domenico Violi considers personal portraits, commemorative busts and works intended for private collections, institutions and public spaces.

A portrait shaped around its subject

A sculptural portrait brings together likeness, expression and the memory of a person. The subject, scale, material and intended setting inform the work. Bronze is one of the materials available; the appropriate execution and finish are discussed for each project.

Can a bust be commissioned from photographs?

You can submit reference photographs for an initial assessment. Please include several views if available, together with a short description of the person and the purpose of the portrait. The studio will discuss any further documentation or sittings that may be appropriate for the project.

What should an enquiry include?

Please email the subject, approximate dimensions, preferred material, destination country and any deadline. Let the studio know whether the work is intended for an interior, garden, memorial or public setting. Reference images and an indicative budget can help establish the scope.

Quotation, production and delivery

The quotation and timetable depend on dimensions, material, complexity and finish. Packaging, transport and any installation requirements must be evaluated for the destination and agreed as part of the project. Please mention any inauguration or commemorative date at the start of the enquiry.

The following images show examples from the studio’s portrait portfolio. Preparatory models and finished sculptures may use different materials; the images do not imply that every work shown is in bronze.
