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.
