Like many other stampacini (inhabitants of a historic district in the city of Cagliari called Stampaxi), Tarquinio Sini was fatally struck by bombs on February 17, '43, while desperately trying to enter the Crypt of Santa Restituta for shelter; he was only fifty-two years old. He left an unfillable void in Italian illustrative and caricature art.
He possessed a modern and even avant-garde style, tracing his own "line" that many of his colleagues followed in the post-war period.
He was also a screenwriter and set designer both in Turin (where he moved in 1910) and in Rome.
Some of his works are exhibited at the MAN Museum in Nuoro, in the Municipal Gallery of Art in Cagliari, in the Sardinian collection "Luigi Piloni," and at the Civic Museum of Treviso. He was buried in the Monumental Cemetery of Bonaria.
