In 1900 Clelia and Samuel Tesauro emigrated from Italy to America and brought a precious grapevine cutting. A century later their granddaughter cast it into bronze.
PEBBLE BEACH, CA, April 10, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Artist Anne Thull displays her limited edition led lighted bronze "Vineyard Series Grapevine Sculptures" during the Pebble Beach Food and Wine event April 10-13, 2014, Pebble Beach, CA.
In 1900 Anne's maternal grandparents emigrated from their native Bellosguardo and Naples Italy to America with a precious grapevine cutting. Later, their twelve children and friends savored Samuel Tesauro's homemade wine with Clelia's remarkable meals from the family's vegetable garden.
In 2007 Anne created her first limited edition "Vineyard Series Grapevine Sculptures" and lit them with LED's. As people would inquire "...why did you select the grapevine?" Anne realized she created the sculptures from childhood memories of growing up in her grandparents' home with her parents.
Clelia and Samuel brought their precious grapevine cutting to America and a century later their granddaughter cast it into bronze.
