John F. Paramino & The North Bennet Street School, North End.

Numerous Boston Bronze and Stone Sculptures have been produced by John Francis Paramino in Boston. Just to name a few: on Boston Common John Barry, Marquis de La Fayette, The Founders Monument, The Declaration of Independence and on the Fenway; The World War II monument. Paramino like so many hundreds of graduates from The North Bennet Street School in the North End have been members of a very special talented alumni in our City of Boston.

The North Bennet Street School is America's first Trade School, founded in 1881, specializing in Piano building & tuning, violin construction , watch and jewelry repair and design, and carpentry trades.

Paramino graduated from this school and did further study of design in sculpture working with bronze and stone mediums under the direction of Bela Lyon Pratt creator of "Art and Science "monuments guarding the original entrance of our Boston Public Library. John also took instruction from another world class sculptor, August Saint Gaudens sculptor of "Robert Gould Shaw"monument on Boston Common.

Well wishes to the staff at the New North Bennet Street School location on North Street, North End.
