Roger Morigi

[6] He did interior work on the building,[5] including carving in marble sculptor Adolph A. Weinman's larger-than-life relief sculpture of Moses[5]—one of eighteen figures in the Courtroom's Great Lawmakers of History Frieze.

[7] Sculptor C. Paul Jennewein modeled The Four Elements, a set of Art Deco female nudes, for the fifth-floor lobby of what is now the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building.

[4]: 19–20 For the entrance to what is now the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse, Jennewein modeled the Trylon of Freedom, a 24-foot (7.32 m), three-sided freestanding column.

[12] Morigi himself later modeled and carved in situ (with Frank Zic) the 44 angels of the Nature of Christ archivolt, that surround the tympanum.

[13] Warneke also modeled and Morigi carved a piece in memory of Joseph Ratti, one of the cathedral's carvers, who died in a 1955 fall from scaffolding.

[16] Hancock would later model the central figure of Christ in Majesty for the High Altar, which Morigi carved in limestone (with Frank Zic).

[20] Morigi started his student with minor challenges, carving floral or geometric work or ceiling bosses, and gradually gave him more responsibility.

[21] Hart's famous design for the central tympanum, Ex Nihilo, featured nebulous figures floating in a swirling mass.

[20] Morigi carved Hart's related trumeau figure of Adam (1974–1978) – eyes closed, not yet fully formed, "still in a state of becoming"[20] – for the pier between the cathedral's main doors.

Carver John Guarente caricatured Morigi in a 1960s gargoyle, portraying him as a devil holding carving tools and wearing a golf cap.
