Thanks to Annette, who, in the Los Feliz neighbourhood of Los Angeles, introduced me to a wonderful person: one of those everyday heroes who knew how to gather around him so much kindness and benevolence. Pete turns 101 years old this year. He is one of those examples of courage, strength, tolerance who is a model for all of us. Arriving from Italy as a young child, courageous soldier, humble and ferocious worker. Pete is not a Hollywood star. He is not on the cover of fashion magazines and yet he's a true hero in the hearts of all those who surround him in his neighbourhood of Griffith Park.
Because for once, I didn't want to create the portrait of a world famous person, 'From 21 to 101' is this wooden sculpture dedicated to him and may be the first of many portraits to come in the coming years. Pete, thank you.
