COMPANY HISTORY
|
The
Silvestri family has been in the
statuary business for five generations.
Arcangelo Silvestri along with his two brothers and a brother-in-law settled in San Francisco in 1900. They began to manufacture ornamental molding and figurines out of plaster which they peddled from door to door. They worked long and hard to make their business successful. The business prospered until the Great Depression when they returned to their native village of Bagni di Lucca in the province of Tuscany, Italy. In 1956 Arcangelo’s son, Adorno, and grandson, Alfeo Luigi Silvestri immigrated to the United States to settle in San Francisco and together founded A. Silvestri Company Fine Statuary. A. Luigi Silvestri and his family continue the traditional family heritage of statue manufacturing by bringing you the finest quality and selection of originals and reproductions of European fountains, statues and garden ornaments, all in beautifully finished in cast stone.
