Ivo Pacini and became one of the prominent artists of the 20th-century artistic movement in

church of San Francesco. Faccendi sculpted the bronze religious decorations – the
Christ the Redeemer, the
Four Evangelists, the
Via Crucis, and a
Pietà – for the
Basilica of Sacred Heart of Jesus in Grosseto (1954–1960). ==References==
