Luigi Zande (March 11, 1887 – December 13, 1957)[1] was an Italian-American stonemason, educator, and builder who contributed to the settlement school movement of the early 20th-century.
[1] Zande may have been one of several Italian stonemasons recruited by the U.S. Coal and Coke Company to build the foundations for Lynch, Kentucky's tipple and mine offices.
On April 10, 1918, he married Ethel de Long, co-founder of Pine Mountain Settlement School.
He left Kentucky in late June 1928, and spent the next several months in Wilmington, Delaware, possibly with family members.
[1] In October 1928, Zande left Wilmington and moved to Asheville, North Carolina, where he started a job with the American Enka Company.
