Scipione Tadolini (1822–1893) was an Italian sculptor operating in the second half of the 19th century.

Life

He was the son of sculptor Adamo Tadolino (1788-1868), one of Antonio Canova's main assistants. He was the brother of the sculptor Tito Tadolini (1828-1910), and in turn father of sculptor Giulio Tadolini (1849–1918). His works were in a romantic form of the Neo-classical tradition.

Tadolini was trained in his father's studio. His first major work was Ninfa Pescatrice (Nymph Fishing) in 1846. During his career, he created a statue of Santa Lucia for the Santa Lucia del Gonfalone Church in Rome, a bust of Victor Emmanuel II of Italy, an equestrian portrait of Simon Bolivar for Lima, Peru, and St Michael Overcoming Satan, commissioned by merchant Gardner Brewer and now in Boston College. His family's studio, at 150a-b Via del Babuino, Rome, has now been restored as the Museo Atelier Canova Tadolini, which preserves the works of Canova and the Tadolini family.
