The signs of the zodiac are on the street side of the stylized violin sculpture at 330 Preston Street (Ciccio Ristorante). This sculpture is one of fifteen granite, bronze and stainless steel sculptures along Preston in Little Italy. The group of fifteen sculptures are collectively known as Postcards from the Piazzas. The sculptures by artist
C J Fleury were commissioned in 2012.
The sculpture includes French, Italian and English translations of some prose from Mark Frutkin's Fabrizio's Return, a novel which features an alchemist/priest and a magic violin.
Better photographs will be added when Old Man Winter is done.
