The Simoncini family descends from the sculptor Francesco Simoncini and draws its origins from the artistic environment of Renaissance Florence, where they enjoyed the reputation of master sculptors and master founders. For entire generations the Simoncini family has kept alive the best Tuscan artistic traditions by passing on their business from father to son.
In contemporary times Nello Simoncini was a sculptor in Volterra, where, in his workshop he taught sculpture, transmitting to his son Marcello Simoncini his experiences, which allowed the latter to express themselves in a language formed by the different legacies of secular tradition.
