The Guardians Documentary
Times Square, New York City, December 2013
An exclusive documentary on the creation of Antonio Pio Saracino’s public sculptures The Guardians: Hero and Superhero premiered on Times Square’s jumbo screen on December 10, 2013. Installed at Three Bryant Park, the 13-foot marble and stainless-steel figures reinterpret Michelangelo’s David as symbolic protectors of New York. Gifted by Italy and commissioned during the Year of Italian Culture in the U.S., the works merge digital design, architecture, and a timeless message of resilience, innovation, and cultural friendship.
