My father at 18 months, with his mother, father, and aunts
Description:
'Family history and only picture of my father as a young child. The older woman on the left (the stern-looking one) reared my grandfather after his parents died. My grandparents shared a deep love, and after his death, my grandmother slowly faded away. Both of my grandparents' daughters were named after the two older women in this photo. Her brothers felt she should marry a local boy but she fell in love with a soldier sent to her town by the Italian Army. Pictured, left to right: Francesco Limoncelli (child), Crescenzia Limoncelli (mother), Giovanni Limoncelli (father), Aunts Giaconda and Rosa.'
