Poor and Forgotten Souls in Purgatory Figurines at E. Rossi & Co. in Little Italy, New York

I recently stopped by E. Rossi & Co. (193 Grand St.) in New York City’s historic Little Italy and spotted these antique terracotta Poor and Forgotten Souls in Purgatory figurines. Disappointed, they weren’t for sale, it was still really neat to get to see and hold them. Currently undergoing a Renaissance, the old gift shop is constantly uncovering great finds in its brimming storehouses. It is a must-see when visiting Little Italy.
