He was born in Mestre, near Venice, and spent his working life in London. Plazzotta is best remembered for a fascination with and study of movement in bronze - the human form, horses, ballerinas, and for his female studies, many of which adorn London's streets.
Enzo Mario Plazzotta was born at Mestre, near Venice, on May 29th 1921.
In 1947 Plazzotta accompanied General Cordorna to present the figure to the British Special Forces in London, as a symbol of the unity of their work with the Partisans.
It was not until the early sixties that Plazzotta felt sufficiently secure financially to take up sculpting again, and, aware that returning to sculpture in his forties was not ideal, he embraced the challenge with gusto.
