Artwork Description

This relief shows Domenico Cafarelli, Anthony de Francisci’s brother-in-law. The bronze plaque is part of a family series that the sculptor produced between 1920 and 1925. Domenico came to the United States with his father, Donato, about two years before Teresa, de Francisci’s wife, immigrated.
