It seems that Augustine Aglio (junior) was also a sculptor.

The son of Agostino Aglio of 36 Newman Street, a painter who exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1807-1834, in 1831 the younger Aglio received a Silver Isis Medal from the Society of Arts for a bust, while in the following year he exhibited a “bust of a gentleman” at the Manchester Academy.

A PLASTER BUST OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (1564-1616)
AFTER AUGOSTINO AGLIO   (fl. 1831-1838)

It is thought that he wrote a summary history of his father and passed the information on to Frederico Sacchi who wrote a biography of Agostino.
