EWCREST is fast becoming an international destination for artists of all kinds. Our newest resident, Eleganza della Pietra, has come here from Venice, Italy to pursue her career as one of the world’s leading sculptors. We sat down recently with Signorina della Pietra to find out how she came to be una italiana in Newcrest.

Newcrest Digest: Welcome to our city, Signorina! What brought you here?

Eleganza della Pietra: A plane bring me here, yes? I fly into Quad Cities airport.

ND: No, I mean, why did you come here?

EdP: Archie and Rose [Archibald Tech and Rose Waters of Rosetech DesignStudio], erano molto bello!

They make me perfect house! I work well in the house, yes? I work in morning or late at night. How I feel like, yes?

ND: I understand you are working on a new show that will open at the Simsonian in a month.

EdP: Yes, Mr. Douglas Curtis arrange for me a show. He molto carino, too.

ND: A little bird told me that you and Mr. Curtis have been out on several dates.

EdP: Ah, I come to make sculpture.

I find la mia ispirazione, my inspiration here.

EdP: A little bird? Un uccellino? I no understand. My boyfriend Paolo, è molto geloso! He no want me on date with Mr. Curtis. Mr. Curtis belong to Miss Waters, no?
