Marino Marini (1901–1980) was born in Pistoia, Tuscany. In 1917, he entered the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence to study painting and drawing, beginning sculpture around 1922. He taught at the art school in Monza near Milan from 1929 and at the Brera Academy from 1940. From 1928, he participated in several exhibitions of the "Novecento" group.
