Sculptor Antonio Corradini was born in Este on 6 September 1668. Trained in Venice, Corradini was one of the city’s leading sculptors in the later Baroque and Rococo periods. He traveled widely in Eastern Europe and ended his career in Naples. Corradini is best known for his veiled figures, which highlight his skill as a stone-carver.
