Pope Valley, CA Litto's Hubcap Ranch - Emanuel "Litto" Damonte 1892–1985 Hubcap environment

Information: Built: 1940-1985 "Look, if I want to go out and get some of that sloppy stuff from the cow and put it into a bucket and throw it on the wall, I'm gonna do it. 'Cause I'm the Boss here." Over a period of 30 years, Emanuele "Litto" Damonte with the help of his neighbors, collected more than 2,000 hubcaps. All around Hubcap Ranch are constructions and arrangements of hubcaps, bottles, and pulltops which proclaim that "Litto, the Pope Valley Hubcap King," was here. This environment is a California State Historic Landmark No 939. Quote and images are generously provided by and copyright Seymour Rosen of S.P.A.C.E.S., from "In Celebration Of Ourselves"
