Gennaro Ranieri, age 89, of Norwalk passed away peacefully on January 11, 2019 at Norwalk Hospital, with his loving family by his side.  Gennaro was born on January 12, 1929, in the Abruzzo region of Italy.  He was the son of Leonardo Ranieri and Conchetta Santolero Ranieri.

Gennaro immigrated from Italy to the United States in 1954.  He was an Artisan of Metal work.  His talent and skills were impressive and his beautiful work includes contributions to The Statue of Liberty, The Capital Building, Ellis Island, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Bow Bridge in Central Park, to name just a few.
