| Antonio Sorgato (1825–1885) | ||||||||||
| Born in Padua, Sorgato was an Italian photographer and grandson of the artist Antonio Maria Sorgato. He studied painting under Vincenzo Gazzotto and won a prize for one of his works in Padua in 1856, but later decided to focus on photography, dedicating himself to the daguerreotype. He opened his first studio in Padua and won a prize at the Venetian Industrial Exhibition in 1865. He then moved to Venice, where he opened another studio. Renowned for his technical and artistic skill, he exhibited often and received numerous awards both in Italy and abroad. He enjoyed considerable success with his portraits, costume photography, and photographic models for paintings. In 1870, he opened studios in Bologna and Modena, and in 1877, he took over Giovanni Nascimbeni’s studio in Udine. Sorgato died in Venice. | ||||||||||
