Pinuccio Sciola (15 March 1942 – 13 May 2016) was an Italian sculptor and muralist from San Sperate, Sardinia.^[1] His work has been mentioned as a major attraction of the nearby town of Assemini^[2] and Alghero.^[3]

In 1973 Sciola travelled to Mexico City to work with David Alfaro Siqueiros.^[4] He then focused primarily on sculpture. Among his most well-known pieces are the pietre sonore ("sounding stones") – large sculptures made of limestones or basalts that alter their appearance at human contact.^[5][6]

Sciola's work was exhibited at the 37th Venice Biennale (1976), the 10th Rome Quadriennale (1985) and Expo 2000 in Hannover. Public commissions include the Rotonda della Besana in Milan (1984); The Grand Trianon in Versailles (1996); and Renzo Piano's Auditorium City of Music Park in Rome (2003).

In 1996 his sound-stones were played by the percussionist Pierre Favre at the Time in Jazz Festival in Berchidda.
