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. On a personal level, Moretti was "known for his eclectic personality and for always wearing a green tie," but professionally, is claimed to be "the first man to use aluminum in art." 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.

  • Giuseppe Moretti (Siena, 3 febbraio 1857 – Sanremo, 21 febbraio 1935) è stato uno scultore italiano, divenuto famoso negli Stati Uniti e a Cuba soprattutto per le sue opere in marmo e bronzo. Il più famoso dei suoi lavori è Vulcan che è situato a Birmingham in Alabama, che è la più grande statua di ferro del mondo. A livello personale, Moretti era "conosciuto per la sua personalità eclettica e per indossare sempre una cravatta verde", ma, a livello professionale, è stato "il primo uomo ad usare l'alluminio nell'arte".
