Marietta was a family-owned clothing store in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn which was founded in 1940. We loved its gorgeous signage made of porcelain tiles.
When we interviewed the 2nd-generation owner, Giuseppe Chirico in 2009 he told us that he first started working at the store after he returned home from World War II.“
We included our photo of it in our book “Store Front NYC: Photographs of the City’s Independent Shops, Past and Present” which is available at your local bookseller and online worldwide.
