Born in the town of Calci, in the Tuscan region of Italy, Armani, like many children, loved to draw, and he was remarkably adept at photo-realistic art. His father, realizing his son’s gift, enrolled the boy in the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. Giuseppe Armani was a talented artist who created a great many extravagant figurines and statues in a variety of styles. For much of his life he designed numerous works for the Florence Sculpture d'Arte ranging from charming Capodimonte styled figurines to sculptures that featured a more modern, contemporary styling. Stylish and romantic, the striking figurines designed by Giuseppe Armani are true works of art in porcelain, produced by a master. The impeccable detailing of these pieces, particularly in the draping and folds of clothing, is reminiscent of the great works of painters and sculptors of the Italian Renaissance. In later years he gained much acclaim for his collection of Disney figurines which depicted many of Disney's most beloved characters. Giuseppe's artistic creations continue to be hugely popular with collectors.
