Giuseppe Laguidara


Giuseppe Laguidara was an Italian sculptor of the Baroque period, active in his native Naples. He became a pupil of Lorenzo Vaccaro. He is described as sculpting figures of shepherds and shepherdesses for church nativity scenes. He was called to restore statues for the Neapolitan King, but due to an "exotic nature" he lost this employment. He is said to have died from inebriation.
