Antonio, a renowned sculptor from 1757 to 1822, left an indelible mark on the art world with his exquisite masterpieces. His works captured the essence of beauty and mythology, showcasing his exceptional talent and creativity. One of Antonio's notable creations was "Amor and Psyche, " a captivating sculpture that depicted the eternal love between two mythical beings.

Carved meticulously from marble, this sculpture portrayed Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, exuding grace and elegance that mesmerized all who beheld her divine presence. "The Tersicore, " also sculpted in marble during 1811, showcased Antonio's ability to capture movement and fluidity in stone. This masterpiece embodied Terpsichore, one of the nine Muses representing dance and choral song. Antonio's skillful hands breathed life into various other sculptures like "Alexandrine de Bleschamp, " a stunning portrayal crafted in marble during the first quarter of the 18th century.
