Background :

Called by Arturo Martini to occupy the sculpture chair at the Villa Reale's Art School in Monza, Marino Marini moves to Milan (in 1929), considered the most European city in Italy. The same year he creates his first important sculpture, Popolo , in terracotta, with which he is introduced to the public and critics.

1932 is the year of his definitive consecration: he exhibits both in Milan and Rome and becomes an honorary member of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. He is also noticed by Peggy Guggenheim who buys his scupture The Angel of the City and installs it in front of her museum in Venice, where it still is.
