Eliseo Mattiacci (November 13, 1940 - August 25, 2019) was an Italian sculptor. Biography Born in Cagli, Mattiacci moved to Rome in 1964. In 1967 La Tartaruga gallery opened Mattiacci's first solo exhibition, featuring “Tubo” (Tube), a 150 meters, yellow-coloured, nickel-plated iron tube designed to change the perception of the environment and encourage the public to modify it.
