Person Place Thing: Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi

In December, Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi joined four-time Emmy Award-winning host Randy Cohen for a conversation on his podcast Person Place Thing, where they shared the people, places, and things that have influenced them.

In this live recording at the National Academy of Design, Marion and Michael talk about their shared connection to the humanist architect Romaldo Giurgola, the enduring influence of the La Brea Tar Pits on both the past and future, and explain the significance of their 300-year-old piece of Sampietrino, the iconic cobblestones that line the city of Rome, which was gifted to them straight out of the Piazza Navona as a wedding present.
