Autorenporträt

Arthur Piccolo is a dedicated student of history especially American and New York City history and centered most of all on Lower Manhattan. Born and raised in Park Slope, Brooklyn, where he lives now, much of his activity is focused in Lower Manhattan and at Bowling Green where New York City was founded, and he famously is responsible for bringing Arturo DiModica's iconic world renowned and much loved sculpture "Charging Bull" to Bowling Green, where it now stands permanently. The arrival of the First Jews to ever come to North America who did so in September 1654 at what is now Bowling Green in Lower Manhattan is another subject that has been a focus of his interest. This new book is an expression of that interest told in a unique and imaginative way as a mythical story for children of all ages that captures the complexity and challenges the First Jews faced in New Amsterdam which would later become New York City. He has been very active as an advocate for Alexander Hamilton since 1988 and has written extensively about Hamilton's importance as the savior of the United States and a Father of Modern Capitalism. As a videographer he has produces hundreds of videos. Among his other achievements he has invented and patented a new team sport "Quadraball" currently in early stage development which will be the first team sport in history that will include a co-gender version.
