Born in 1950 in Castelfiorentino, a small town not far from Florence, Paolo started at The Florence Studio in late 1995. Like Giuseppe Armani, Paolo is a self-taught sculptor.

Leoncini introduced himself to Mr. Armani by showing him three sculptures of animals in motion. Giuseppe Armani was struck by Paolo's artistic sensitivity, his understanding of anatomy and his ability to create exciting realistic wildlife subjects. Paolo established an immediate rapport with "The Maestro."

Leoncini has already produced sculptures with intrinsic artistic content. It will surprise no one that Paolo Leoncini not only creates impressive sculptures of animals in motion, he also sculpts original, realistic and anatomically detailed figurines of stylish and contemporary women.
