About the Item
Sculpture sideboard by Dante Morozzi (Florence 1899 - Geneva 1965), in olive wood and olive briar. The features fully reflect the style in vogue in the fascist period and enclose in the soft and monumental lines, probably the result of his collaboration with "Arch. Marcello Piacentini". On the sides in the niches, the female sculptures, carved in the round are proposed in an elegant and compatible with the furniture, the briar is positioned to mirror the handle and the 4 pendants are in gilded bronze. The signature is present in a similar cupboard present in the salon of origin of the furniture but not available for purchase (see photo). The cabinet has the concept of functional sculpture, the thickness of the sides, the doors and the top are 3cm, it carries weight of 100kg despite the small size. The Florentine sculptor Dante Morozzi, born in the province of Florence in 1899, attended sculpture courses at the Scuola di Santa Croce in Florence, a pupil of Augusto Passaglia, perfecting then Very well known in Cortina d'Ampezzo also for having directed the Institute of 'Art since 1933, he was above all a sculptor, ceramist and painter. In 1933 he participated in the Triennale of Milan organizing the exhibition of the Cantagalli company and from 1933 to 1941 he became director of the State Art School of Cortina d'Ampezzo. From 1935 to 1940 he exhibited at the most important art exhibitions set up in Italy, from the Venice Biennale, to the Rome Quadrennial and again to the Milan Triennale. In 1941 he exhibited at the Il Tevere Gallery in Rome, where he presented a rich choice of sculptures and paintings, and participated in the Cremona Prize. Smart organizer, he is in charge of setting up the South Tyrol exhibition at the VII Triennale in Milan, also presenting three of his sculpted wood works representing the Madonna and Child, Christ and Horse, which unequivocally show his adherence to monumental and heroic ways of the period. Also at the 1940 Triennale, wooden inlays designed by Morozzi were presented by the Art School of Cortina d'Ampezzo, praised by Giò Ponti for their "ease of tone and refinement of colored chiaroscuro" (Giò Ponti in "Domus", June 1940). In 1943 he took part in the Rome Quadrennial. A man with a strong character, for his membership of the fascist party and for his activity as informer, he is repeatedly contested by the Ampezzanis. In 1941 he sold some of his anti-fascist colleagues to the regime, obtaining a professorship at the Brera high school in Milan. At the end of the war he escapes from Italy whose courts sentence him to 18 years of imprisonment for collaboration with the Germans and takes refuge in Geneva where the traces of his life and activities are lost, even his previous activities obscured for the past in service of the fascist regime. He died in Geneva in 1965.
