Anna Torre

Anna Torre is an Italian sculptor, born on 17 January 1994 in San Miniato (province of Pisa). She studied sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara, where she gained both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the field. During her studies she learned to work marble through collaborations with sculpture studios in Carrara and Pietrasanta.

She works chiefly with Carrara marble, bronze and terracotta, and is engaged in monumental sculpture and art in public space. Her artistic research starts from observing the human figure, most often female, engaged in some activity; the figures look as though caught in a moment or absorbed in contemplation. The anatomy is free and reshaped, which gives them a dreamlike, unreal character.

She has taken part in a number of sculpture symposia: Antonio Berti in San Piero a Sieve (2018), “Fontane per Castellina” in Livorno (2019), Marmi e Monti at Campocecina (2019), Primitiva in Carrara (2021) and Borgo Universo in Abruzzo (2022). In Athens she met the artist Costas Varotsos and worked as an assistant on the project “La Totalità” in Turin. In 2023 she made “Big Splash”, an underwater marble monument for the Submarine Museum in Talamone. In 2024 she was selected for the “Art4Sea” artist residency on the Greek island of Alonissos, where in 2025 she made the public sculpture “Blue Diver”. Also in 2025 she showed her work in the Czech Republic in the two-person exhibition “Ho perso la coda” (I Lost My Tail).

Awards: 2017 winner of the competition for a bronze casting of “La Via Crucis” for the diocese of Massa; 2019 Premio Acquisto (acquisition prize) at the Edgardo Mannucci International Sculpture Competition in Arcevia; 2023 winner of the “Mariagrazia Vaccari” sculpture competition.

She teaches sculpture and works between Rome and Carrara. At the Art in the City festival she showed the work “Aries” in 2025 (concrete, Havraní náměstí – Panská 4, České Budějovice); the marble original of the head was 3D scanned and the enlarged concrete version printed by the Scoolpt studio in České Budějovice, with the original shown at Galerie Rabenstejnská.
