    Hand carved model of St. Mark's Square is listed on E bay. This was built by my grandfather Attilo Savoia in his studio in Rome.
    It took nine years to complete. Here I am with a model of St. Peter's that was completed in 1950. This one was built by my father Lucio and grandfather and took five years to build. There were no plans so they took three years to measure and photograph the buiding and two years to construct the model. The lights work as well as the fountians and clock. Both are made of beech and birch wood and are 1-100 scale. It is in the Italian Cultural Center in Chicago.

    Yes, that is the starting price. I see that you have Chicago listed on your profile. If you ever get the chance go to the Italian Cultural Center in Stone Park and see the St. Peter's model.

    Hi Gerard D. Hansen,
    My name is Mike, I'm new on here as of today; can you contact me? I just bought one of your old cars from way back in the day and had some questions about it. It was in a barn for 13 years and was just dragged out last month.....

    -Mike
