Baron Bosio

Baron Bosio (1768-1845), full name François Joseph Bosio, was a celebrated Monegasque sculptor. From 1815 to 1860, Monaco was a protectorate of the Kingdom of Sardinia, which later became Italy, that is why Bosio is sometimes referred to as an Italian sculptor. Nevertheless, Monaco was made a French protectorate just before Italy's unification, allowing it to remain independent. Bosio was patronised in France.
