Enzo Plazzotta (1921 - October 12, 1981) was an Italian-born British sculptor.
He was born in Mestre, near Venice, and spent his working life in London. Plazzotta is best remembered for a fascination with and study of movement in bronze - the human form, horses, ballerinas, and for his female studies, many of which adorn London's streets.
