The Piccirilli Factor. by Montes-Bradley, Eduardo,film director.; Heritage Film Project (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Heritage Film Project in 2025.THE PICCIRILLI FACTOR presents 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. For nearly half a century, the Piccirilli contributed to the City Beautiful Movement, shaping the architectural landscapes of Washington and New York in collaboration with leading architects and sculptors. Their body of work, encompassing both collaborative and individual pieces, includes nearly nine hundred monuments, memorials, and fine artworks, many of which are preserved in museums and private collections. Unfortunately, all records related to their practice were lost following World War II, after the studio closed due to the deaths of Attilio and Getulio Piccirilli.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
