The Works — Sculpture

Never started twice.

A sculpture by Studio Giannoni is never started twice. Each piece begins as a 3D model, approved together with you, before a single tool touches the marble — and ends only when Alberto decides, by hand, that it is finished.

Selected works

Original pieces and private commissions. Each caption notes the material, the approximate dimensions and the time it took to carve — never the price.

From the Journal

The marble that learned to look soft.

A quiet aesthetic is emerging in collector searches right now: marble carved to mimic the gentle weight of a pillow. It is a genuine trend, not an invented one — and exactly the kind of contrast Alberto’s hand was built for.
