Egidio Pozzi

Egidio Pozzi (Milan, 19th to 20th Century) was an Italian sculptor.

He was a resident of Milan, Among his works are: Busto muliebre; Bambino and Studio ili tesici. Among his portraits are Lord Byron meditating means to gain the liberty for Greece, exhibited in 1880 at Turin and in 1881 at Milan.[1] Pozzi completed the initial Monument to Alberto da Giussano erected in 1876 at Legnano. His statue was replaced in 1900 by a more dynamic statue by Enrico Butti. Garibaldi in a speech to the townspeople had urged them to commemorate the legendary Lombard hero. In 1884, Pozzi designed a statue to honor Garibaldi in Pavia.[2] He also designed the Ossuary and Monument to the Fallen during the Battle of May 20, 1859, located at the Cemetery of Montebello, Lombardy.[3]
