Unsung Italian hero, Vermont's Angelo Ambrosini, honored in We The Italians in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 80th anniversary of the Italian Republic.

Happy birthday USA: Unsung Italian heroes. Angelo Ambrosini and the art of granite in Barre, VT

In 2026, We the Italians celebrates “Two Anniversaries, One Heart” – the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 80th anniversary of the Italian Republic. This article is part of the “Happy Birthday USA: Unsung Italian Heroes” project, in which we share how, in every corner of the United States, an Italian has made a positive impact on their local community.

Angelo Peter Ambrosini’s life traces a classic Barre story: a skilled craft brought from northern Italy, transformed into an American livelihood in the granite sheds, and woven into a tight-knit immigrant community that left a mark far beyond central Vermont.
