Giuseppe Moretti (3 February 1857 – February 1935) was an Italian émigré sculptor who became known in the United States for his public monuments in bronze and marble. Notable among his works is Vulcan in Birmingham, Alabama, which is the largest cast iron statue in the world.[3] On a personal level, Moretti was "known for his eclectic personality and for always wearing a green tie,"[1] but professionally, is claimed to be "the first man to use aluminum in art."[2] Moretti enjoyed some celebrity in his lifetime, and was a friend of famed Italian tenor Enrico Caruso. It is even reported that the singer repeatedly praised Moretti's voice.[3]
