Nuove opere per la prima maturità di Andrea Ferreri (1673-1744) scultore e architetto milanese tra Bologna e Ferrara

The paper retraces the first twenty-five years of Andrea Ferreri’s career, a pupil of Giuseppe Maria Mazza active in Bologna and Ferrara. In addition to new critical and documentary analyses, the paper presents new works by Ferreri: a woodcut after his design of Bologna’s Colonne Votive ; the Vigilanza terracotta model, owned in the eighteenth century by Luigi Sacchetti, whose monumental marble version is in Ferrara’s Archbishop’s Palace; the terracotta Vergin and Child at the Davia Bargellini Museum; the terracotta Saint Sebastian inspired by a Simone Cantarini engraving.
