Work Your Way Through

At one hundred years old, Franco Vitiello, Hon'25, '68, is the oldest living BAC alumnus. Ever since drafting for the Italian Air Force, he'd secretly dreamed of becoming an architect. After immigrating to the U.S., he had pushed the idea aside because he couldn't afford to stop working long enough to study. But after struggling through English lessons to pick up the language, Franco heard about the BAC by word of mouth. It was a lightbulb moment. Franco completed his studies at the BAC while taking night classes, working full-time, and parenting four daughters with his wife, Maria, who shaped him into the best version of himself. His work can be seen all over Boston and beyond the United States.
