Corrado Feroci - the Italian Legacy in Bangkok
Corrado Feroci (1892 1962) was a graduate of the Academy
of Fine Arts in Florence, the art capital of Italy. He came to
Bangkok in 1923 when King Rama VI requested the Italian
government for a sculptor to train Thai artists and craftsmen
and raise the standards of Thai art to international levels.
The arrival of Corrado Feroci was to start a train of events
