Silvio Santini is born in 1946 in Torano, a small village on the Carrara mountains. He attends the marble professional school in Carrara and in the ‘60s starts to work as a sculptor in one of the oldest marble workshops in town: Carlo Nicoli’s studio. Here he has the opportunity to collaborate with some of the most influent artists of the period.
Thanks to this experience and to the influences of such grate masters, he decides to open his own workshop in 1971 and gives birth to his personal artistic production.
His artworks are present in a certain number of private collections and have been exposed in many shows, symposiums and locations all over the world, as the Second Art Biennal in Tokio (Japan) in 1980; Bad Kissingen (Germany); Fortezza da Basso (Florence); Sculpure symposium Digne (France); International sculpture show Odense (Denmark); Finterbank hall in Chiasso and Lugano (Switzerland); Arte Karlsrhue (Germany); Bad Ragartz triennal festival (Switzerland).
