After restoration

Our restoration stopped the deterioration and saved these sculptures from crumbling away.

Before restoration

Prior to our restoration, the Bistolfi and Baroni sculptures were overgrown and were being attacked by biological growth.

Bistolfi restored

We sponsored restoration of this wonderful symbolist sculpture by Leonardo Bistolfi.

Bistolfi before restoration

The wonderful symbolist sculpture of sisters in mourning, but Leonardo Bistolfi, suffered from moss, mildew, bacteria and dirt.

Bistolfi after restoration

After our restoration the magic of the Bistolfi sculpture has reappeared.

1921 Art Deco statue

This early Art Deco bronze by Eugenio Baroni was restored thanks to our donors.

After passing through the entry gate, as you proceed directly along the tree lined road a few hundred yards you will find this small area with its own chapel. In front and in back of the chapel are the first five masterworks which we were able to restore. Included among the memorials in this area are those of English, American and German residents of Genoa, including the wife of Oscar Wilde.
