Frano Menegello Dinčić also spelled Frano Meneghello Dinčić (Kotor, Montenegro, 28 February 1900 - Belgrade, Yugoslavia, 1986) was a Yugoslav medalist and sculptor from Dalmatia.[1]
Biography
He was born into a naval family, originally from Hvar. He lived in Split where he graduated from the School of Applied Arts and later the Academy Fine Arts in Prague, in the class of Professor Otakar Španiel. He further refined his skills in Paris and Munich. Before leaving for Belgrade in 1928, he worked from 1922 to 1924 as a lecturer in Split. He was a member of the Society of Fine Artists of Serbia. Menegello's artistic work was accomplished in relief modeling, including plastic portrait painting, which ensured the quality of his portrait medals, memorials, plaques and monuments. Vladeta Vojinović's research shows that the Order of the People's Hero (type 2), created at the ICOM in Zagreb, was designed by Frano Meneghello Dinčić.[2]
