Biographical / Historical:
Arcangelo Cascieri (1902-1997) was a sculptor who worked primarily in Boston.
Cascieri was born in Pescara province, Italy. In 1905 his father moved to Boston's North End and the rest of the family joined him in 1907. Eventually the family moved to East Boston where Cascieri began attending school and learning English. In his early teens he was taken out of school and began work in the shipping room of a shoe factory. During this time, he learned woodworking and carving. As his talent increased, he was offered an apprenticeship to Johannes Kirchmayer the chief sculptor at the W.F. Ross Studio in Cambridge. Kirchmayer also introduced Cascieri to the Boston Architectural Club in which he would be involved for the rest of his life.
In 1922, Cascieri began studying at the Boston Architectural Center (BAC) and finished the program in four years. After graduating he studied Fine Arts at Boston University until 1936. He was named head of the BAC in 1937 and was appointed Dean in 1943. Because faculty of the BAC worked on a volunteer basis, Cascieri supported himself, opening a studio with his brother-in-law Adio diBiccari. In 1952 they worked on projects such as the World War One Memorial at Belleau Wood in France and the World War Two Memorial at Margarten in the Netherlands. The most famous of their works in Boston is the Parkman Plaza fountain in Boston Common.
Cascieri died at the age of 94 on January 17, 1997.
