Sitting on the 1936 Act Deco sculpture “Law & Order” by Italian sculptor Francesco Riccardo Clementi Monti (1888-1958), at the 1933-1935 Old Iloilo City Hall (now University of the Philippines Visayas, Iloilo Campus) by Manileño architect Juan Marcos de Guzmán Arellano (1888-1960).

With the lack of regional architects and engineers, the Philippine Commonwealth Government under Pres. Manuel Quezón (1878-1944) fielded many Manila based architects to design the government buildings in the provinces. Most governors and provincial mayors opted for the Neoclassical architectural style that was pushed the American government during the earlier half of the American Occupation of the Philippines (1898-1946), however others chose the Art Deco style to embrace a modernist and progressive identity of Philippine Architecture. And since Art Deco was the trend, it was the Italian sculptor Francesco Monti who would be regularly commissioned to create the sculptures for these new buildings, as most of the Filipino sculptors avoided the modernist style and stuck to their classicist images.

Francesco Riccardo Clementi Monti (1888-1958) was an Italian sculptor who resided in the Philippines from 1930 to 1958. He was the son of Alexander Monti, who hailed from a long line of masons and sculptors in Cremona, Italy. Francesco would be distinguished as the only one of his clan to train formally in the arts, as he would enroll at the Institute of Ponzone for Decorative Arts and Technology and the Royal Academy of Breza in Milan. Upon completing his studies, Monti would return Cremona, and launch a very successful career creating many public sculptures for the city, where he developed his Art Deco style. His work slowed down with World War I (1914-1918), as Monti jointed the Italian military. After the war, he returned to sculpting, and he was honored, in 1924, with the title of Knight of the Order of the Crown of Italy, for his artistic endeavors.  In 1928, Monti design was selected as the grand prize winner for the Caduti Austrio-Ungheresi Monument design competition in Cremona, for a memorial for 33 Austro-Hungarian soldiers killed in Cremona in World War I. Sadly, the judges would later reverse the decision, and award the prize to another sculpture, due to political wrangling of the fascist politicians in power. This greatly dismayed Monti, and he decided to leave Cremona. He moved across Europe, and later went to New York City, where he met the Filipino Architect Juan Arrellano, who invited him to visit the Philippines. Monti would later shuffle between Italy, Hong Kong, and the Philippines; until he finally settled in Manila in 1932. Monti would collaborate with Arch. Arellano and sculptor Guillermo Tolentino in many projects, before being incarcerated by the Japanese in World War II (1938-1945). After the war, Monti received many commissions for the sculptural work in the rehabilitation of the structures damaged by the war, as well as new infrastructure developments throughout the country. Monti’s works can be seen on the Manila Metropolitan Theater in Manila,  Philippine Military Academy in Baguio, the University of Santo Tomas (UST), the Santo Domingo Church in Quezon City, and the Don Bosco Technical School in Mandaluyong City. In 1948, Monti started teaching at the UST School of Fine Arts, and help develop their sculpture program. Among his distinguished students were Ang Kiukok, Leonardo Hidalgo, Ting Ping Lay, and Virginia Ty-Navarro. Monti worked with many Filipino architects and artists, and he was instrumental in the establishment of the Art Association of the Philippines (AAP), in 1948. He died in 1958, and was buried in his adoptive land, the Philippines.

Arch. Juan Marcos de Guzmán Arellano (1888-1960) is known as one of the Philippines' founding fathers of architecture. He finished his studies at the Ateneo Municipal de Manila in 1908; while taking art lessons under noted masters Lorenzo Leogardo Guerrero (1835 -1904), Toribio Asona Antillon (1856-1913), and Fabian de la Rosa. When most people thought that he would pursue a full time career in the arts, Arellano decided to take architectural studies at the Drexel Institute in 1908, and further architectural studies at the Académie des Beaux-Arts. However the draw to painting could not be resisted and he to additional art studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1911. As an architect, Arellano is most noted for Manila's Metropolitan Theater (1935), Executive House (1926, now houses the National Museum of the Philippines), the Manila Post Office Building (1926), and Jones Bridge; where he had employed both the Neoclassic styles recommended by the American government and the Art Deco style pushed by Filipno modernist thinkers.
