ANTONINI, GIOVANNI BATTISTA. - Sculptor of the 18th century who worked in Rome; he is remembered by Titi as being part of the group of artists who, at the wish of Clement XI, completed the decoration of the colonnade of St. Peter's Square by executing the 44 travertine statues, then lacking. A bust of St. Anthony in the Pallavicini Gallery in Genoa is also attributed to him.
