Biography
Studied in Palermo until 1848, when he joined the Sicilian revolution of 1848, fighting under General Ignazio Ribotti. With the uprising crushed, he was imprisoned at Castel Sant'Elmo in Naples, where during his imprisonment he was first condemned to death and subsequently pardoned. He was exiled from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and went to Turin, where for a year he served as a grenadier[1].
Subsequently, he moved to Paris to work under Joseph Michel Ange Pollet. His first work was The Education of Bacchus, exhibited at the 1855 Paris World Exposition.
In 1860 he joined the Garibaldi movement, was taken prisoner at Cap Corse, incarcerated for two months at Gaeta, then returned to Paris. There he completed: Amore punito, La danza, il mausoleo del conte Tyzhieviez, Una bagnante, which he exhibited at the Salon, Il piacere, La Follia and many busts and portraits, including those of Cassagnac, M. Girardin, Dr. Armand Trousseau, the writer Pierre Beaumarchais, and King Umberto I.
In 1863 he returned to Turin, where King Vittorio Emanuele II commissioned the statues of Conte Verde and Duke Vittorio Amedeo I. Other works included the statues La pensierosa, found in London, and La schiava, sold to the Nice museum.
Lanzirotti was a member of many academies, and was awarded the Cross of the Knights of Saints Maurice and Lazarus, the Order of the Crown of Italy and the Order of Isabella the Catholic.
