About the Item
This is a beautiful blue and gold hand carved and hand painted zodiac sign crafted by Charles Pizzano, circa 1950.
The 32 inch octagonal shaped sign was just one of Pizzano's prolific and unique artistic creations during his life time. This sign depicts twelve individual carved gold plaques each depicting zodiac animals with numbers and labels incised. In the center is a hand carved sun surrounded by applied hand made stars and zodiac names.
Although his work can primarily be found across New England, over his long career he would be commissioned for pieces destined for such notable places as the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., the American Red Cross Museum in Washington, D.C., the Vatican, Harvard University, and churches, cathedrals, colleges and universities across the United States.
Dimensions: 32 inches square
Likely unique, a beautiful creation, hand made, hand carved, and hand painted, only one.
Provenance: Old New England collection.
History:
Charles Pizzano (1893-1987) was born in Torre Le Nocelle, Italy. His family immigrated to the United States in 1905. His interest in art began while attending the North Bennett Industrial School in Boston's North End. After his teachers convinced his parents to support his artistic education, Charles attended the Roman Art School under Professor G. DeBenedictis and famous sculptor Angelo Lualdi.
Although his work can primarily be found across New England, over his long career he would be commissioned for pieces destined for such notable places as the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., the American Red Cross Museum in Washington, D.C., the Vatican, Harvard University, and churches, cathedrals, colleges, convents, and universities across the United States.
Pizzano married Emma Ciampia (sister to sculptor Emilius Ciampia) and lived in Medford, Massachusetts, for over 45 years, summering for 20 years in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Upon leaving his studio in Boston, he later built a studio behind his home and continued working until his late 80s. He died at age 94 in 1987.
