Bruno Innocenti was born in Florence on February 4, 1906.
He studied sculpture under the guidance of Libero Andretti; later, he became his assistant and, after Andretti’s death, took his position as a professor of sculpture at the Institute of Art in Florence. He held this position until 1975.

From 1925 onwards, he participated in various group exhibitions both in Italy (Florence, Turin, Milan, the Rome Quadriennale, and the Venice Biennale) and abroad (Paris, Nice, Athens, Monaco, Vienna, Warsaw, Bucharest, Budapest, Sofia, Sydney, Düsseldorf, New York, and South Africa). Between 1925 and 1949, he also held many solo exhibitions in various Italian cities; the 1938 Venice Biennale assigned him a hall.

In 1946, he stayed in New York for about a year and held a solo exhibition at the Architecture League. A few years later, a show of his works titled His was held in New York at the Metropolitan Museum.
Starting in the 1950s, he stopped exhibiting and devoted himself entirely to sculpture and teaching. He also produced several monumental works: at the courts of Milan; in the location of the “central” of Milan; a series of crucifixes for the courts of Pisa; the bell “Assunta” for the bell tower of Giotto in Florence. Several funerary works in Italy and the United States; and the large statue of Christ the Redeemer in Maratea.

In 1971, he returned to his exhibition activity at the La Gradiva Gallery in Florence and in several group exhibitions in France. He also participated in the Bronzetto exhibition in Padua.
In 1985, the Academy of Fine Arts of Design in Florence, of which he was a lifelong member, organized a solo exhibition of drawings and sculptures.
After his death, in Florence in 1986, several of his works were part of the exhibition “Tridette Tre” at the Galleria Dell’oca.

The Cabinet and Prints of the Uffizi Gallery, to which he had donated about nine hundred drawings created by him in the 1920s, organized a solo exhibition of his drawings and sculptures in 1991.

A large frieze, Apollo and the Muses, which he created in 1933 for the proscenium of the Florence Municipal Theater, was recently restored and placed in the theater’s atrium.
In recent years, his works have participated in exhibitions in Milan, Faenza, Montopoli, San Miniato, Bologna, Mesola, and Florence. His solo exhibitions have been held in Florence, Paris, and San Miniato.
