Tony -- Piazza d'Italia Financial Packages
Scope and Contents
These records were received in April, 1991, from staff members of the Office of Business and Industrial Development. They all deal in some way with the Piazza d'Italia project and include information from its early stages of development through its construction and dedication. As such the records represent the work of staff members in both the Moon Landrieu and Ernest N. Morial administrations. They appear to have been created and/or collected by staff members in the Mayor's Office of Urban Development, which later became the Office of Policy Planning and Analysis. Key individuals in these offices included Tony Gagliano, John Chrestia, Louise Glickman, Gino Carlucci and Steve Villavaso. All of these people are well represented in the records, along with the architects, contractors, financial advisors, and other consultants hired by the city for the project.
The records also include various "housekeeping" records of questionable research value, including vouchers and invoices, handwritten notes, drafts of project documents, daily construction reports, architects' change orders, and similar documents.
