When his mentor died, Ferrata and another pupil, Domenico Guidi, completed Algardi's unfinished Vision of Saint Nicholas at San Nicola da Tolentino ; ultimately, the innovative arrangement of two independent but interactive groups derives from the original design by Algardi.

Alessandro Algardi ( 31 July 1598 – 10 June 1654 ) was an Italian high-Baroque sculptor active almost exclusively in Rome, where for the latter decades of his life, he was the major rival of Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Giambologna was an important influence on later sculptors through his pupils Adriaen de Vries and Pietro Francavilla who left his atelier for Paris in 1601, as well as Pierre Puget who spread Giambologna's influence throughout Northern Europe, and in Italy on Pietro Tacca, who assumed Giambologna's workshop in Florence, and in Rome on Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Alessandro Algardi.

Italian sculptors whose work is held by the museum include: Bartolomeo Bon, Bartolomeo Bellano, Luca della Robbia, Giovanni Pisano, Donatello, Agostino di Duccio, Andrea Riccio, Antonio Rossellino, Andrea del Verrocchio, Antonio Lombardo, Andrea Riccio, Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacolsi, Andrea della Robbia, Michelozzo di Bartolomeo, Michelangelo ( represented by a freehand wax model and casts of his most famous sculptures ), Jacopo Sansovino, Alessandro Algardi, Antonio Calcagni, Benvenuto Cellini ( Medusa's head dated c1547 ), Agostino Busti, Bartolomeo Ammannati, Giacomo della Porta, Giambologna ( Samson Slaying a Philistine ( Giambologna ) c1562, his finest work outside Italy ), Bernini ( Neptune and Triton c1622 – 3 ), Giovanni Battista Foggini, Vincenzo Foggini ( Samson and the Philistines ), Massimiliano Soldani Benzi, Antonio Corradini, Andrea Brustolon, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Innocenzo Spinazzi, Canova, Carlo Marochetti and Raffaelle Monti.

The casino was a showcase for the Pamphili collection of sculpture, ancient and contemporary, on which Algardi was well able to advise.

Algardi was also known for his portraiture which shows an obsessive attention to details of psychologically revealing physiognomy in a sober but immediate naturalism, and minute attention to costume and draperies, such as in the busts of Laudivio Zacchia, Camillo Pamphilj, and of Muzio Frangipane and his two sons Lello and Roberto.

Algardi was born in Bologna, where at a young age, he was apprenticed in the studio of Agostino Carracci.

Algardi, on the other hand, was embraced by the new pope and the pope's nephew, Camillo Pamphilj.

For nearly a decade, Algardi struggled for recognition.

In 1635 – 38, Pietro Boncompagni commissioned from Algardi a colossal statue of Philip Neri with kneeling angels for Santa Maria in Vallicella, completed in 1640.

Immediately after this, Algardi produced an interactive sculptural group representing the beheading of Saint Paul with two figures: a kneeling, resigned saint and the executioner poised to strike the sword-blow, for the church of San Paolo, Bologna.

In the villa grounds, Algardi and his studio executed sculpture-encrusted fountains and other garden features, where some of his free-standing sculpture and bas-reliefs remain.

In 1650 Algardi met Diego Velázquez, who obtained commissions for his work from Spain.

In his later years Algardi controlled a large studio and amassed a great fortune.

This ensured that he effectively became the successor of Michelangelo, far outshining other sculptors of his generation, including his rival, Alessandro Algardi.
