Beniamino Bufano (October 15, 1890 – August 18, 1970) was an Italian American sculptor, best known for his large-scale monuments representing peace and his modernist work often featured smoothly rounded animals and relatively simple shapes.
He worked in ceramics, stone, stainless steel, and mosaic, and sometimes combined two or more of these media and some of his works are cast stone replicas.
He had a variety of names used, and sometimes went by the name Benvenuto Bufano because he admired Benvenuto Cellini.
His youthful nickname was "Bene," which was often anglicized into "Benny." He had lived in Northern California for much of his career.
