Santini in 1958 enrolled at the Pietro Tacca Professional Institute for marble in Carrara and here he met Paolo Grassi and Mario Fruendi, with whom he later gave life to the sculpture workshop S.G.F ..<\/span>

In 1964 he was hired by the Nicoli laboratory in Carrara. Here he has the opportunity to collaborate on works by artists including Agustin Cardenas, Carlo Sergio Signori, Antonie Poncet, Mario Rossello, Giuliano Vangi and Ipoust\u00e9guy.<\/span>

The partnership with the Nicoli studies ends seven years later. This experience allows Santini to found in 1971, with two other artists, his own workshop which takes the name of S.G.F (from the initial of their respective surnames). With the birth of the laboratory Santini begins to sculpt his own works as well as cooperating with other artists in the realization of theirs. In particular, between 1982 and 1996 he collaborated with the Swiss artist Max Bill.<\/span>

In 1979 he participated in the International Sculpture Symposium in Carrara and in various editions of the La Spezia Art Biennale; in 1980 at the Tokyo Graphic Collective. In the eighties his work takes on an innovative aspect, approaching the principles of Concretism.<\/span>

His works have been exhibited in many Italian and foreign cities, including Odense, Amsterdam, Lugano, Florence, Pietrasanta, Viareggio and Zug. Furthermore, Santini’s works are present in numerous private collections in Italy, Switzerland, France and Belgium.<\/span>
