Italian sculptor and medalist Mario Moschi received an Honorable Mention for his work Calciatore I (Soccer Player) at the 1936 Art Competitions in the category Sculpturing, Statues. This sculpture is now placed at the entrance of the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark in Berlin.
From 1911 to 1915 Moschi attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Firenze. After World War I, during which he stayed in Nice producing caricatures for a newspaper, he returned to Firenze in 1923 and created a war memorial. He then specialized in engraving medals, but also produced numerous decorative fountains for villas and squares.
