Marino Marini was an Italian sculptor (1901-1980). Born in Pistoia, Marini is particularly famous for his series of stylised equestrian statues, which feature a man with outstretched arms on a horse. Probably the most famous example is The Angel of the City at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice. He attended the Accademia Di Belle Arti in Florence in 1917. From this time his work was influenced by Etruscan art and the sculpture of Arturo Martini. There is a museum dedicated to his work in Florence (in the former church of San Pancrazio); his work may also be found in museums in Italy and around the world, such as the Civica Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Milan and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.
