Aldo Falchi

Aldo Falchi (1935-2020) was a contemporary Italian artist. Due to his natural predisposition for figurative art and his father, the painter Paride Falchi, a Master of '900, he started sculpting at a young age. He moved to Milan in 1954, where he attended the Brera Academy in the evening and worked in Remo Brioschi's studio during the day. He collaborated with Remo Brioschi in the realization of the Monument to “the Resistance” of Reggio Emilia and to various sculptures for the Monumental Cemetery and for the church ‘Dei quattro Evangelisti’ in Milan.

Falchi relocated to Germany in 1959 and began working as a sculptor for the renowned Rosenthal porcelain factory. The famous "The Magic Flute"; portraits of 11 composers; and collaborations with the Danish designer Bijorn Wiinblad and the Viennese painter Ernst Fuchs are all products of this time period (1965–1969).

After building a strong name abroad, the US ambassador commissioned him in 1973 to create a number of commemorative sculptures for the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. He created a number of monuments, busts, and reliefs for public and private institutions during the 1980s and 1990s. In 1997 he received the “Agrumello” (Cremona) international career award.

His works can be found in permanent museums collections in Vatican, Rome; British Museum, London; Civic Museum of Palazzo Te, Mantua; Diocesan Museum “Francesco Gonzaga”, Mantua; MaM Museum of Gazoldo degli Ippoliti; Civic Museum of Medole; Lodi Civic Museum: Porcelain group “The hunt” of which a copy is in possession of Princess Anne of England; Museum of the Risorgimento, Mantu; The Höhenberg Porcelain Museum in Bavaria.
