Among the pupils of Filippo Parodi recorded by the biographer Carlo Giuseppe Ratti, the sculpotr Domenico Garibaldo (1687-1756) is the least well-known, given the dearth of documents about him; yet his carrer, which evolved entirely in Genoa, was, for generational reasons, influenced by both late Baroque culture and the new styles fostered by the Accademia Ligustica (founded in 1751), of which he was a member. The discovery of a notarial contract of 1721 relating to two sculptures destined for the parish church of the Assunta in Sestri Ponente, just west of Genoa, now provides an important point of reference for the reconstruction of the artist's oeuvre, while a study of the works -a "Saint Dominic" and a "Saint Rose of Lima"- offers useful information for his training after Parodi's death in 1702.
