Life[edit]
Zamboni was born in Bologna and he was student and assistant of Quinto Ghermandi.[2] After retiring from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna in his third year, he went to England in 1968 as a guest of Henry Moore. In 1975 he began teaching at the Academy in Bologna, and from 1997 to 2004 he taught sculpture at the Brera Academy of Arts in Milan, [2][3] where he met Sara Bolzani who became his student and partner.[4]
Zamboni lived in Sala Bolognese in a big farmhouse converted into a studio residence, under the banks of the Samoggia river.[2]
The sculptor portrayed the human figure with realistic forms, with a careful search for detail and life-size,[5] in large choral works that require the use of various modelling techniques; these sculptures are made of various materials including ceramics,[6] cement, stone,[7] wood, copper.
He created the large monument in Marzabotto in 1975 in front of the town hall,[8] as well as several monuments commemorating the Bologna massacre in various Italian cities.[9] He also created a small garden of medieval inspiration with allegorical statues in one of the courts of the Cavedone PEEP.
