Was wondering what was the history of that statue ?
Looks like a Benjamin Buffano statue at CCSF titled "St. Francis of the Guns", same pose, ST. Francis I believe with metled guns.

- It is a Beniamino Bufano statue of St. Francis. In case you are interested.

First line, Ernest Gallo, who learned the craft of winemaking in the basement of the Modesto public library...
I find that amazing, should be added but not sure where. Also the bit about his family feuds and also fathers murder suicide.
-
- I do not quite get why you think that this information about Gallo working in the Modesto library basement is relevant to Robert Mondavi. The families are unrelated, and Robert Mondavi was friends of the Gallos nothing more. Mondavi has been friends to many of the wine-makers in California, so to be appropriate you'd have to add all of them, not just one which would be a fruitless endeavor. You might perhaps be confusing Mondavi in the case with Julio Gallo who is also mentioned in the article, Julio Gallo passed away last year.
