SLAM Cinema—The Piccirilli Factor

This 2025 documentary tells the story of the Piccirilli family, Italian sculptors who settled in New York City and started the largest and most prolific marble carving studio in America. For nearly 50 years, Piccirilli sculptors helped shape the architectural landscapes of Washington and New York through hundreds of monuments, memorials, and artworks, many of which are preserved in museums and private collections. Not rated, 60 minutes.

Following the film, director Eduardo Montes-Bradley will take part in a moderated conversation and audience Q&A with Keli Rylance, Head Librarian of the Richardson Memorial Library and Museum Archives.
