Giuseppe Valenti was a Sicilian sculptor who was active in the late 19th century.
Valenti was born in Palermo,[1] he was the son of Salvatore Valenti, who was also a sculptor and wood carver.[2] His work includes a seated statue of Saint Publius at St Paul's Cathedral in Mdina, Malta (1885),[3] a terracotta bust of Governor Lintorn Simmons at the Casino Notabile (1887),[1] and a marble statue of Queen Victoria in Valletta (1891).[3] The latter is one of the artist's best-known works.[2][4] He also sculpted funerary monuments and various works for Palermo churches.[2]
It has also been speculated that the sculpted stonework of the Casino Notabile's exterior might have been the work of Valenti.[4]
