One man is marking some of New York City's heritage a bit differently.
Sergio Furnari is an Italian sculptor. He built this creation called, Lunch Time On Top Of The Skyscrapers,
based on the 1932 photograph of men eating lunch atop the beams of the
Rockefeller Center. He finished this sculpture in November 2001 and
placed it in front of Ground Zero.
"Almost like a mascot to inspire all the workers at Ground Zero, and basically, give them an inspiration that America is still strong and this is America, no matter what," says Sergio Furnari, artist.
Furnari says his sculpture has been on tour all over New York City with one message: To inspire. He says the sculpture symbolizes the unity of America.
