BOSTONIANO
Published a few years ago, Joseph R.
Gallo’s “Boston Bronze & Stone Speak to
Us” has become one of the most sought
after books on Boston’s art history. The
book is a beautiful pictorial essay of the city’s most talented artists and commemorative events over a 400- year history. “The artist/sculptor cap- tures the spirit of a
human experience,” writes Gallo. “This sometimes eclectic selection of unusual and often contradictory monuments seems to me somewhat symbolic of the idiosyncratic character of Boston itself.”
Sure, you might know about the Christopher Columbus statue on the Waterfront, but did you know there is one in a Beacon Hill garden, too? And how about Parkman Plaza, adorned with sculptures by artists Arcangelo Cascieri and Adio DiBiccari? (bostonbronzeandstone.com)
