Thirty-seven-year-old sculptor Jacopo Cardillo, better known in his native Italy as Jago, has earned a following with his contemporary approach to this classical art form, exposing on social media his process of shaping marble. When he embraced a group of teens who'd defaced one of his works, Jago won a new fan touched by his humanity: Whoopi Goldberg. Correspondent Seth Doane talked with the artist about his most ambitious project yet: creating what will be a 6-ton sculpture more than 16 feet tall.

This is how we make things better. We as a society should thank Whoopie for looking out and we should ask all celebrities and athletes to encourage people to do positive things. Young people are craving leadership and encouragement.

The Pope sculpture was featured on a YouTube channel some time ago. That was when I became aware of this artist. Amazing! Go, Jago!

Very nice updates on classic Italian sculture work. Lower rents in New York would help the actual homeless too!

I like visiting Italy because there are sculptures arts everywhere. Glad to know this artist has made a name beyond Italy.

This artist is brilliant, but there is no comparison to Michaelangelo who did not have modern tools at his disposal.
