A Legacy of American Mastery

The Ghiglieri family’s artistry spans four generations—from Batista Ghiglieri’s marble lions at the New York Stock Exchange, to Angelo Ghiglieri’s monumental Franciscan statue in Bakersfield, to Lorenzo E. Ghiglieri’s world-renowned wildlife, spiritual, and patriotic bronzes displayed in the White House, Vatican, Kremlin, and beyond.
