Roberto Giudici
Born 1897 (Circa)
Active: 1911 - 1929
Country of birth: Italy
Country of death: England
Bronze founder, moulder
Born in Milan. He was the son of Antonio Giudici (born c.1862 in Melegnano, near Milan), a pointer and marble carver who came to Britain possibly in the 1890s. Antonio had three sons who also worked as stone carvers and pointers, Raimondo, Gerald (Geralomo, Gerry or Jerry) and Romino. Roberto seems to have begun working as a bronze founder at quite a young age. According to James Butler RA, who worked for Gerald Giudici for over ten years in the 1950s and 1960s, Roberto may have carried out a lot of work as a moulder for William McMillan RA. It is not known at present how long his career in Britain lasted.
