Other Figurines and Sculptures - Armani
The Florence Sculture d'Arte was started in 1973 in Florence, Italy in the Tuscany region. Shortly after opening, it began co-operation with Giuseppe Armani, the name by which the figurines are commonly referred to toady. The first Armani figurines were traditional items in "Capodimonte" style, including children and collections of animals. Generally, Armani figurines are issued as a series of figurines with a central theme. The official home page for Armani Figurines can be found here: http://www.florence-sculptures.it/.
Today, while Armani Figurines conjure up images of beautiful women, the variety of themes encompasses the classics and mythology, Art Deco, figurines in the Capodimonte style, dance, stage, and the circus. The subjects of Armani figurines include women, men children, animals, professionals and angels. Finally, Armani has lines categorized as home accents, decorative arts, and lamps.
