Pericle Fazzini (4 May 1913 – 4 December 1987) was an Italian painter and sculptor. He is notable for works such as La Resurrezione in the Paul VI Audience Hall.

Life[edit]

Fazzini was born on 4 May 1913 at Grottammare, in the province of Ascoli Piceno in the Marche, to Vittorio Fazzini and Maria Alessandrini. As a boy he worked with his brothers in the family carpentry workshop, where he learned to carve wood. In 1930, with the help of the poet Mario Rivosecchi, he moved to Rome to study at the Scuola libera del nudo.

In 1931 he won a competition in Catania to design a monument to cardinal Dusmet; it was never made. In 1932 he took part in a competition for the Pensionato Artistico Nazionale of the Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione, the Italian ministry of arts and education, and with his low-relief Uscita dall'arca ("leaving the ark") won a two-year bursary.^[1]

He died in Rome on 4 December 1987.^[1]
