A. Silvestri Garden Ornaments Factory has been a-family owned statuary business for five generations. Hailing from Tuscany, Italy, the Silvestri family has been making and importing fountains, statuaries, columns, planters and hand-carved granite and limestone since 1956. The artists' creations are made for gardens as well as grave sites. This location is the factory; the showroom is nearby at 2630 Bay Shore Boulevard. The factory is not open to the public.
