## About Fortunato Gori

Fortunato Gori was an Italian sculptor whose identity records also use the names Affortunato Gori and Affortunato Gory. These spelling variants matter when matching works, catalogue entries, and auction records to the same artist. Wikidata identifies Gori as an Italian sculptor, while Italian- and German-language reference pages corroborate his occupation and alternate naming. The collected authority links also connect the artist to Getty ULAN and VIAF records, although those pages did not return usable biographical detail during collection. A secondary source describes Gori in relation to Art Nouveau and Art Deco, but the available source pack lacks sufficiently accessible institutional or scholarly evidence to treat those movement associations as settled structured facts. Collectors may encounter his name primarily in sculpture listings, and any proposed attribution should be evaluated from the individual object, signature, materials, documentation, and relevant catalogue evidence rather than from a name match alone.

## Common works and media

The accessible sources identify Gori as a sculptor. They do not reliably document specific materials, subjects, casting practices, editions, named series, or other recurring work types. Those characteristics should be established from the individual sculpture and supported catalogue, provenance, or auction documentation.

## Market and appraisal context

Sculpture is the supported auction category for Fortunato Gori, but this source pack does not establish his usual materials, recurring subjects, edition practices, price range, or market trend. The collected Appraisily page was temporarily unavailable, and no individual major-auction-house records were included for review. An appraisal should therefore examine the object’s material, dimensions, condition, signature or inscriptions, provenance, attribution, date, casting or edition evidence, and genuinely comparable public sales when documented records are available. Searches should include the Affortunato Gori and Affortunato Gory variants to reduce missed records while guarding against false identity matches.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For Gori, the collected identity evidence is stronger than the accessible object-level market evidence.
