Cecchini, Vigilio (1909-1997), Copping, Ruth Agnes (1912-2005)Context
This composition was created by Bud Connelly for Vigilio (Jiggs) and Ruth (Maggie) Cecchini's 25th Wedding Anniversary in 1956. He used two photographs taken that night as source material to create what looks like a formal double portrait. Jiggs was a pharmacist and worked for pharmacies in Barre and St. Albans. His large and extended family were part of the vibrant Italian community in Barre, Vermont during the early and mid-twentieth century.Acquisition
