When choosing a faucet, quality is the first thing to consider. "Why have a cute faucet that leaks?"says Delia Kenza of Delia Kenza Interiors, a Brooklyn-based interior designer. After all, water is one of the most destructive elements any fixture in your home will be subjected to. Fauci’s wife, Christine Grady, has an esteemed medical career of her own. She is the chief of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, a position she has held since 2012. Grady continued her work with AIDS patients throughout all three of her pregnancies. In an extensive interview with the National Institutes of Health in 1997, Grady reflected on what it was like to work in that environment as an expectant mother: After graduating from high school, Alison Fauci relocated to the west coast for college and has continued to live on that side of the country ever since. She attended Stanford University and majored in computer science.

All-metal fixtures have long been considered the superior choice for faucets with brass being the most durable, die-cast zinc acceptable, and chrome-plated plastic the budget option. However, newer ceramic disk valves are increasingly popular as they’re considered extremely reliable and as the cost has started to creep down. Anthony Fauci was raised in Brooklyn, New York. His father, Stephen, attended Columbia University and became a pharmacist. His mother, Eugenia, went to Hunter College. They got married after graduating from high school. Grady was working as a nurse with the NIH Clinical Center in 1983 when she met Fauci. He told the Financial Times that they met over the bed of a patient. They got married in 1985 and began expanding their family the next year. I recently started working with Bruma, based in Portugal," says Kenza. "All their faucet parts are solid brass, customization is an option, and many of the parts are finished by hand. The best part is they are a more affordable option." In a faucet, style and function go hand-in-hand. "There are a few questions we ask in terms of functionality (Does the client want a separate hand spray, or a single spout with a built-in spray?), but style is paramount," says Richter. "There are bridge faucets for more farmhouse looks; long, dramatic arched faucets, which can look graceful and sleek for contemporary kitchens; and more utilitarian faucets for industrial kitchens."Grady was on the frontlines in the early fight against AIDS in the 1980s. Her thesis was about the ethical issues surrounding the development of a vaccine to prevent or treat HIV and AIDS. The report, titled “The Search for an AIDS Vaccine: Ethical Issues in the Development and Testing of a Preventive HIV Vaccine,” was published as a book in 1995.

According to the National Institutes of Health, Stephen and Eugenia Fauci ran a neighborhood pharmacy in Bensonhurst and the family lived in an apartment above the business. Anthony Fauci delivered prescriptions on his bicycle while his older sister, Denise, helped to run the cash register. Currently, Jennifer Fauci works for the Cambridge Health Alliance, an academic community health care system in Massachusetts. She is a post-doctoral psychology fellow with a focus on child and adolescent acute services. One-touch faucets are the other technological leap in the space, where you just tap it to turn on or go entirely hands-free courtesy of a built-in motion sensor (temperature is still controlled by a knob, though). "We don’t think you need touchless and consider it more of a nice-to-have rather than need-to-have," says Petty. "But we have found more and more people looking to integrate this technology, especially in homes with families where cleanliness is at the forefront of their minds." Finish and Flair Jennifer Fauci majored in social studies at Harvard University and graduated in 2008. According to her LinkedIn profile, she earned a master’s degree in developmental and child psychology from Columbia University in 2013. She also has a doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Boston College. (She has also since removed her LinkedIn profile).While still a student herself, Jennifer Fauci began working as a teacher. She taught sixth-grade science for a nonprofit charter school organization in Brooklyn from 2008 to 2010. For six months in 2011, she served as an intervention teacher in Washington, D.C. Serving as a teaching assistant and instructor was also part of her responsibilities as a graduate student at Columbia. As a teenager, Fauci played basketball and graduated from Regis High School on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. He chose College of the Holy Cross for his undergraduate education before graduating from Cornell Medical College in 1966. There are a surprising number of features and fixtures to consider when buying a kitchen faucet. "The way you work in a kitchen, the look you’re after, and your budget will ultimately determine what fixtures are best," says Keren Richter of White Arrow, a New York design studio. "Price is driven by brand and style, but also by the finish you select. Chrome is the cheapest, and specialty finishes will add to your cost." Anthony Fauci’s grandparents, on both sides of his family, were immigrants from Italy. According to the NIH, his father’s side of the family was originally from Sciacca, Sicily, and ran a hot springs spa. Fauci’s maternal grandparents immigrated from Naples. His grandfather on that side of the family worked as an artist.
