Sculpture by Vivia Prato?
Prato has been going to the dogs, and praters are working to develop it into a modern city. They are planning to do away with the some of the old things, and replace them with new. For example this sculpture, set in a downtown grassy square. I didn't find a sign giving the artist's name, but someone I met said they thought it had been created by a Prater named Vivia. There are, of course, other possible artists, for example:
and of course, Vivian Pratt
But this got me to thinking. As I walked around Prato, and met praters like Uncle Alf and Uncle Putro, neither of whom were married, it began to strike me that I never met any Prato women. Not only that, but there didn't seem to be any young Praters around either. I asked Uncle Alf about the absence of women in the Prato family, but he would never give me a direct answer. Then I noticed a picture in the back of Uncle Alf's garage that helped clear up the mystery of the missing Prato women.
