Antoniucci Voltigero (born 1 January 1915 in Albano (Lazio), Italy, who died in Paris on 14 December 1989 at the age of 74) is a French artist of Italian origin. Volti was both sculptor, draftsman and engraver. His sculpture is in line with Rodin, Bourdelle and, above all, Maillol (several works recall the work of Maillol, Les Trois Graces in particular). All of her work glorifies the woman and her body: "What bites in a woman's body is rhythms and volumes. Volti is an extraordinary sculptor who reconciles us with the beautiful. His art is part of a tradition (Cézanne said: "We don't replace the past, we add something to it") : Volti does not deny the legacy of the past, the legacy of Rodin, Maillol, Henry Moore, but it integrates into a new form, which comforts and gives us immediate pleasure: Volti's sculpture is smooth, round, human. Nothing is sharp in her, even in the most geometric sculptures that recall Henry Moore's art, nothing is aggressive, and everything recalls life. Volti is an architect of the woman, compared to Maillol, her sculpture can be monumental or small, but is always rigorous, balanced, stable. The most exceptional element that characterizes the talent of Volti's sculpture are the "vacuums": these spaces that classical and modern sculptors fill because there is only Volti who was able to respect, the empty spaces in a squatted body (Intimacy) or folded on himself (Night) the ability to work the earth by giving him the life and movement of the bodies of his models. That's what makes him a very sought after and well-known artist all over the world. In addition to museums and institutions[réf. nécessaire], Volti's works are sought after by amateurs and art collectors. Among his admirers, in his private collection in Geneva, Alain Delon has two magnificent Muses de Volti.
