Aulo Grandoli Master alabaster craftsman
He is a part of a family who made the history of alabaster in Volterra. Since he was a very young man, he breathed and whitewashed himself with alabaster dust in the family shop. He had various experiences in different specific fields of alabaster working. Ornamentalist at first, then sculptor of a figurative art becoming more and more complex in time, he even creates his own techniques and tools appropriate to each creative need. His work remains one of the most significant in alabaster craftsmanship of our time.
