Mazzuoli was a Sienese Late Baroque sculptor. He was a pupil of Ferrata and Caffà and worked for Bernini, especially on the Tomb of Alexander VII. He kept the Berninesque tradition alive and untouched by French classicism. He worked in Rome after 1686, and completed Caffà's Baptism of Christ in Valetta cathedral, Malta after Caffà's early death. His twelve Apostles, originally in Siena Cathedral, are now in the Oratory, London.
