Workers from Greco Construction ensured mounting bolts and holes on the statue’s base and pedestal matched up. A worker used a pallet jack to move the 6-foot-tall figure from the Francesco di Paola Catholic Church Garden to the park.
The crane operator shifted gears to hoist the sculpture upon the 5-foot-tall base. With two hands, a site manager guided the bottom of the statue, held by red safety straps, onto the pedestal. He bore down on a hand-held drill that made high-pitched squeals as he rounded the openings.
