they could talk they asked questions and more
questions-many Of them about sculpture.
But Joseph and his wife were not wholly
satisfied there. They had heard of opportunity
In America. Thus it happened that one day
they packed up and, with their six jolly sons,
sailed for New York City
The youngest of the six sons was then
years old and all were showing interest in their
fathers profession.
- GIFIED though he was, Joseph Piccirilli
~ and his wife could not fail to realize that
1t was their duty to give their boys a chance.
While Joseph was becoming noted, these two,
then. dreamed a new dream, and it was of
the time when their boys should all be famous.
So it was natural that they should be sent
back to Italy to study at the Academia San
Luca at Rome and at Carrara. The boys pals
all their lives worked with enthusiasm and
eventually were in America once more ready
to carry on the tradition in art that had been
started by ancestors in the dim past
1t would not have been unusual If one or two
OF these young men had succeeded in becoming
famous. That might have been expected But

almanac Origin Ancient

THE almanac which like the Bible is found in
all proper farm homes dates far back
into antiquity, its origin having been traced
at least as far back as the fifth century after
Christ and hint of even earlier origin is found.
With the advent of the printing press and
the discovery of scientific methods of studying
the skies and the weather, the almanac came
into its own. The earlier additions were often
carelessly prepared and contained much mis-
information but after 1928 when the Society
for the Diffusion of Useful knowledge issued
its first almanac, the general run of almanacs
has been Of high caliber
The best known Of the American almanacs
was the Poor Richard tome Of Benjamin
Franklin which was issued in 1882 for the
f1rxt time

Up in the Bronx, not far north of the Har-
lem River, they built fine studio and in it
they started to make their dreams-and the
dreams OF their fine old father and mother
come true.
That they have succeeded is a matter of
record. That they have labored together for
more than 80 years, without breaking up that
splendid cooperative partnership, is an
achievement that may quite well bring i'm
mortality.
New York, looking upon statues that they
have created, often honors them. The rest
of America, where they may not be so well
known, nevertheless has frequently looked with
Frightening eyes upon their heandiwork

commemorating the sinking of the Maine To-

Park and the Firemen'S Memorial on Riverside

the other five. But that doesn't make any diff

Working together they have created such sig
nificant monuments as the great Lincoln Me-
mortal in washington and the huge door for
the Rockefeller Church on Riverside drive.
\h/ORK is joy for them-although they
w probably wouldn't call it work. In their
rambling studio structure, with studios above
and below and at unexpected places, they use
their fingers chiSelS and compressed air drills
to fashion statues.
To see them at work, without particularly
noting their creations, nobody would say that
they are the most famous sculptors in America.
They wear four-cornered caps, made from
folded newspapers; their clothing is nondescript

haps worn vest. They look like day laborers,

Museum is almost as famous
The brothers resent the sharp criticism which
has been directed toward Civic Virtue" the
statue which stands in City Hall Park in New
York.
Conceived by the noted sculptor Frederick
McMonnies, and wrought by the PiccirilH
brothers, it has frequently been bitterly criti-
cized. Former Mayor Hylan denounced 1t and
1T was called by names such as 1.-The Fat Boy"
THE Caveman," THE Rough Boy" and Fat
Boy in Mess Of Worms"
ONE critic noted that the face of the figure
- was not unlike that of the late gangster,
Vincent Coll
A demand has been made that it be removed
Women's organizations, believing that the husky
young man tramping on the mermaids below is
an insult to womanhood, have been especially
aroused
But" says Getulo, "this is because the
public does not understand the conception of
the statue. It was designed to convey the idea
that the lusty, bulging- g-muscled fgure-repre-
senting civic Nrtue'-was spurning the sirens
OF corruption who were gathered around him
trying to lead him astray"
The brothers admit that criticism should be
expected and is justified, but they insist that it
should be intelligent. Consequently they resent
the burlesque criticism of this statue
But, though their volatile Latin tempera-
ments may make them flare up at times, they
are in the main jolly, happy men. Always there
is something permanent about them, to prove
that what they have created will last Unlike
writer's and painters, they know their colossal
monuments will still be standing long alter they
are dead

The story began On the slopes around Massa,
overlooking blue waters of the Gulf of Genoa,
where the Italian peninsula curves into the
mainland of Europe There, one day, as pretty
little brown-eyed Barbara Giorgi tended goats
for her father, footsteps sounded behind her.
Already, though young, she was express

In here spare moments she made flowers and
animals and peoples figures And thus, en-
crossed as she was in her work, she wasn't
aware of the footsteps until shadow fell across

Stinctively realized she liked him.
Before word was spoken, he glanced at
the model she making Bending down. he
took it from her clay-smeared hands and with
swift, sure fingers fashioned the head of the

watched and when he had finished she could
not suppress a little cry of approval
"Oh, who are you?" she asked eagerly
And he sat beside her and told her his his
