Gualtiero Busato

Born in Civitavecchia in 1941 and based in Paris from 1949, Gualtiero Busato was introduced to sculpture by his father, an art founder. A sculptor in bronze, he developed an expressive language rooted in Mediterranean cultures, peopled with masks and figures. Creator of the Fontaine du Dialogue at La Défense and winner of the Del Duca Foundation prize in 2001, he died in Paris in 2025.
