Louis Nicolas Domanico: (1944-2022)
 
Lou and Susan  Domanico were neighbors and close friends to the Breitenbachs for decades, and lived directly across the street. Louis was retired from NYS Dept. of Transportation and was an active member of the Capital District Blacksmiths. He and Thom Breitenbach attended the blacksmith meetings together locally, and before that, with a group named New England Blacksmiths, meeting in West Stockbridge, and led by renowned blacksmith William Senseny. Lou was a former member and past president of the Guilderland Historical Society (and his own house has a fascinating history). He enjoyed creative cooking, household projects, and tinkering in his workshop/barn.

He and his wife Susan were avid art collectors and had beautiful wall art as well as many outdoor sculptures. We owe a debt of gratitude to the estate of Louis Domanico for the donation of the statuary, which included the four pieces we have by Arline Schulman, and the other anonymous pieces in our park. It was the exact thing that gave us the idea to start the museum here at Castle Breitenbach with a sculpture trail.

Lou owned a welder, and blacksmithing equipment, and given that he had a number of round pieces of scrap metal in his shop, exactly like those employed in the sculptures to your left, we attribute, with absolutely certainly, these two sculptures to Louis N. Domanico.
