Italian original Cite

CACCIATORI, BENEDETTO. - Sculptor, b. at Carrara in 1794, d. there on 25 Sept. 1871.

A pupil of Lorenzo Bartolini, in Milan he left among other things the statues of St. Satyrus, St. Ambrose, St. Romanus, St. Maximilian and St. Mary Magdalene in the Cathedral, the monument of Count G. Borromeo in the Ambrosian Library (1840), a Madonna in S. Celso, the tomb for Marcello Saporiti in the church of the Sforzesca (1854), as well as some statues for the arch of Porta Venezia and for the Arch of Peace. He also worked for the chapel of the Sudarium in the cathedral of Turin, and was a teacher at the Brera Academy. His style, starting from certain characteristic expressions of Bartolini (v.), is influenced by the neoclassical examples of the Milanese milieu in which C. completed his training.
