If you’re exiting state Route 220 and traveling Paul Mack Boulevard into Lock Haven, you may have taken note of a new art piece. The Giosue Carducci Lodge for the Sons and Daughters of Italy Lock Haven recently had a large mural painted on the northern side of its building along North Henderson Street which welcomes travelers and showcases the influence Italian immigrants had on Clinton County in its early days.
“The board wanted to emphasize the Italian heritage and importance of the Italian community, which often interconnected with the railroad community in this area,” Board President Dan Vilello said. Vilello noted his own grandfather was a long serving member of the railroad in Renovo and multiple board members and social members of the lodge have a connection to the industry that had deep roots in the area.
