Gaetano Cellini was born in Ravenna on August 27, 1875. From a modest family, orphaned of his father, he spent his childhood in an orphanage, dedicated himself to art as a self-taught artist. Very young, he worked with the marble worker Stefano Furati and the Ravenna sculptor Attilio Maltoni (1862-1909). A pupil of Alessandro Mazzarenti (1846-1923) in Ravenna, he moved to Turin and worked in Pietro Canonica's studio as a marble rougher. He began his career as a sculptor by exhibiting, starting in 1900, at the exhibitions of the Promotrice delle Belle Arti in Turin. He received numerous awards and recognitions in Italy, Europe and South America.
Humanity against Evil, a work of great plastic expressiveness, presented in plaster in Milan in 1906, made of marble in 1908, reproposed in Buenos Aires in 1910, is preserved in the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Rome.
In 1920 he created the Monument to San Giovanni Bosco, in front of the Basilica of Maria Ausiliatrice in Turin, he also created the tondo for the urn of the Saint. The Monument to the Fallen of Carmagnola (Turin) dates back to 1921. Between 1928 and 1930 he created the Monument to the Fallen of Asti.
In 2006 an exhibition on the artist Gaetano Cellini was set up at the Exhibition Hall of the Basilica of Maria SS. Ausiliatrice
