Michele Tripisciano (born July 13, 1860 in Caltanissetta ; † September 21, 1913 there ) was an Italian sculptor from Sicily .
Life
Tripisciano came to Rome in 1873 to study at the Ospizio San Michele through the support of Baron Guglielmo Luigi Lanzirotti and another patron. Between 1880 and 1888 he worked in the sculpture studio of Francesco Fabi-Altini (1830–1906).
In 1884 he received the San Luca from the Accademia with a silver medal for his sculpture "Caius Marius on the ruins of Carthage".
Around 1890 he opened his own workshop in Rome, where he created portrait busts, cemetery sculptures and figures from history, mythology and Christianity. When he returned to Caltanissetta is not documented.
In 1900, Tripisciano was honored by King Umberto I with the award of the Knight's Cross.
