Biography


Colombo was born in 1663 in Este, Padua, Italy.[1] He moved to Naples in 1678.[1] Colombo was a student of sculptor, Domenico di Nardo.[1] Colombo's sculptures were made primarily in marble, polychrome wood, and stucco.[2] He also worked on engravings of his work.[2] He worked in the Arcadian–Rococo style.[2]

Colombo worked on Croce di Lucca, a church in Naples, and carved a large-scale organ, created decorative stucco arches, and worked on carving the marble stoups in 1688 working alongside sculptor Pietro de Barberis.[1][2]

Between 1703 and 1704, Colombo was commissioned to create two marble bas-reliefs for the tombs of Anna Maria Arduino, Princess of Piombino from Messina, and her infant son Niccolò II Ludovisi at the church of San Diego all'Ospedaletto.[1][3] Other works by Colombo are found at the chapel of San Vincenzo at Santa Caterina a Formiello (between 1724 and 1726, Naples), Santo Stefano, Capri (1691), San Ginés, Madrid (1698), amongst others.[2]

He died in Naples on 1730.[2]
