Arturo Martini
 

(b Treviso, 11 Aug 1889; d Milan, 22 March 1947).

Italian sculptor. He was self-taught as a sculptor, though he started work in Treviso as an apprentice ceramist, an occupation to which he returned later in life. From 1906 to 1907 he attended the studio in Treviso of a local sculptor, A. Carlini (1859–1945), and subsequently studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice where he was taught by the Italian sculptor Urbano Nono (1849–1925). In 1909 he met Gino Rossi and with him took part in exhibitions at the Ca’ Pesaro in Venice, organized by the art critic Nino Barbantini.
