Tom with Terrence Cardinal Cooke of New York, 1974.

This glimpse of Tom’s Pietrasanta studio
shows the Pope John XXIII bust in the background;
the St. Dominic study is to the left;
the unfinished Job is in the forefront.

Pope John XXIII, original plaster, twice life-size, 1966

This figure is the head study for a proposed nine foot figure. A competition was set up in Italy for a proposed monument to the Pope.

The monument was never made, but Tom had the head cast in bronze. The first casting is at the headquarters of the Italian Bishop’s Conference in Rome, the second casting graces the McGlynn Sculpture Court at Providence College.

The Flight Into Egypt, bronze, 4″, 1965

This figure is one of this most spontaneous and creative works. three young Italian girls from the Pietrasanta neighborhood frequently
visited his studio. While he enjoyed talking with these small children, it did take up  valuable time. Ton day, in 1965, when they  stopped by when he was very busy, he asked, “Do you want to see me make a donkey?” With that, he took some wax and very quickly
made a donkey.

He then proceed to add a man, a woman, and a child riding on the donkey and completed the small sculpture in an hour without any deep reflection on the process. What he had made was a small sculpture of Mary, Joseph , and the child Jesus fleeing into Egypt to avoid the persecution of King Herod.
