“POWER AT HAND”


Raffaello presents one of his sculptures casted in bronze gold plated "Power At Hand" a special tribute event for Vidal Sassoon 1994. It was purchased from him and donated by Joan Harrison President of Canadian Hairdresser International as a gift for Lifetime Achievement Award. Raffaello made a speech honouring Vidal Sassoon. While he was in Mexico vacationing Vidal was thinking about the speech. He asked his secretary to call Raffaello remembering and saying how he brought tears of joy during his speech delivery. Vidal sent Raffaello his personalized signed book and again thankful with appreciation. “It was at night to remember with our industry's peers at the Royal York Imperial Room to a full audience.”
