Angelo Bragalini was a sculptor, goldsmith, decorator, painter and designer. Working with a spectrum of materials and using techniques such as inlay and metal engraving, Bragalini drew on several influences: modernist, Renaissance and Etruscan; the multifaceted artist knew few limits. His honors included the first prizes for the goldsmith in Florence and for the decorative glass in San Remo. He worked mainly outside of Bologna for most of his career.
