Valle, Filippo della
(b Florence, 26 Dec 1698; d Rome, 29 April 1768). Italian sculptor. He was trained by his uncle Giovanni Battista Foggini, from whom he first learnt the style of late Baroque Florentine sculpture, best exemplified in Foggini’s reliefs for the Corsini Chapel in S Maria del Carmine, Florence. On Foggini’s death in 1725, della Valle went to Rome and worked for several years in the studio of Camillo Rusconi. He shared with Pietro Bracci first prize for sculpture at the Accademia di S Luca in 1725. After Rusconi’s death in 1728, della Valle established his own studio near the church of S Nicolò da Tolentino. He was elected to the Accademia di S Luca in 1730.
