Explore Boston's Sculptures with Joseph Gallo (AUTHOR VISIT #39 of 100)

About The Talk: Author Joseph R. Gallo will discuss his book -- Boston Bronze & Stone Speak To Us, a unique and beautiful book that combines art, history and walking guides for the public sculptures found in eighteen Boston locales. Gallo combines his original photographs and observations with well-referenced sources and maps for a complete experience of enjoying Boston's sculptures. With hundreds of full-color photographs, discover sculptures across Boston: the Boston Common; the State House inside and out; Beacon Hill and Louisburg Square; the Boston Public Gardens; the Esplanade and Hatch Shell; the Fenway; Chinatown and the Theater District; Copley Square; Park Square; the Commonwealth Avenue Mall; School Street and the Old City Hall; King's Chapel; Downtown and the Financial District; Government Center; Quincy Marketplace and Faneuil Hall; the North End; and the Waterfront.
About The Author: Joseph R. Gallo Jr. is not a historian nor a sculptor. He is a student and great appreciator of both academic fields. Trained as an educator and being an entrepreneur, he felt a need to reach out to the thousands of visitors who come to our historical city, teaching them through this guidebook the purpose and reason why such beautiful works of art embellish Boston. Compiling updated photos and historical text for the resurrection of a much needed simple-to-use guidebook, Boston Bronze and Stone Speak To Us was time consuming, but fulfilling.
Register below. Seating is limited to 100. Book signing held after the talk. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
Note: This talk was originally scheduled for Tuesday, March 19, but was postponed due to snow.
