Biography


Consorti was born in Semproniano, in southern Tuscany in 1902. From 1919 to 1926, he took a sculpturing course in the Art Institute of Siena.[2] Shortly after the end of World War One, Consorti met Guido Chigi-Saracini, when he decided to move to Siena, a city he knew well.[3]


Holy Door


The Holy Door (built 1950),[4] was built by Vico at St. Peter's Basilica. The door was consecrated and opened on 24 December 1949. It was ordered by Pope Pius XII.[5]

The door is only opened during the presence of the Pope during the Jubilee years.[4]
