Join us at Highland on Saturday, May 10, from 1-3 p.m. for a free screening of The Piccirilli Factor, a documentary by Eduardo Montes-Bradley. This film explores the lives and contributions of the Piccirilli family, Italian sculptors who, after settling in New York City in 1888, founded the largest and most prolific marble carving studio in America. The film highlights the role of Attilio Piccirilli, who carved the marble sculpture of James Monroe that stands at Highland.
The screening is free and open to the public. It will be held in the lower level of the Highland Event Barn, followed by a discussion with Mr. Montes-Bradley. Visit https://highland.org/piccirilli-factor to register for this free event.
