Guiseppe Rivadossi (b. 1935) Guiseppe Rivadossi was born 1935 in Nave in the province of Brescia, Italy. His interest in art was awakened early by his father, and further by frequenting the art scene in the region around Milan during the mid-20th century. He first created bronze, terracotta and wooden sculptures in the design of which he tried to capture the poetic dimensions of space. In the 70s, gallery owners became aware of Rivadossi so that numerous exhibitions including at the Milan Triennale in 1974 and the Biennale in Menton followed. Thereby Rivadossi always considered the sensitivity of the materials since his sculptures are always in dialogue with nature.
