Quinto Martini (19081990) was an Italian artist and writer, born in Seano, Tuscany. He was a professor at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Florence in the 1960s and 1970s.[1]

Some of his most notable works were inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy,[2] and has been described as "an important fixture in the cultural and artistic life of 20th-century Florence."[3]

Places named for him

Parco museo Quinto Martini in Seano was dedicated in 1988, while Martini was still alive, and displays 36 of his bronzes in an open air setting.[4]
