Salvatore Cartiano Scarpitta at work on a bust of mayor John C. Porter in his studio, Los Angeles, 1929-1935

Description:
Salvatore Cartiano Scarpitta was born in Palermo, Italy, graduated from the Accademia di Belli Arti di Palermo and worked primarily as a sculptor. He immigrated to the United States in 1910. His first studio was in New York, and in 1923 he settled in Los Angeles where he completed numerous public sculptures including work for sculptures at the St. John's Episcopal Church, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor and the bas relief over the entrance of the Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. During Benito Mussolini’s era of power in the 1930s Scarpitta executed a bust of the Italian dictator to be displayed in Rome. Scarpitta was awarded a prize by the American Institute of Architects for the three panels over the entrance of the Los Angeles Stock Exchange, and also designed a marble relief over the entrance to the Stock Exchange's board room. Biographical statements credit Scarpitta with the sculptures at the "Church of the Sacred Blood" which may actually be the Church of the Precious Blood completed in 1926.
