Nonno Joe & Nonna Filomena married in Bocchigliero (Calabria, Italy) on May 1, 1915. I've been thinking about them a lot as my own parents pass wedding milestones. Here's an excerpt from their wedding registration:
"L'anno millenovecento quindici, il giorno primo del mese
di maggio, alle ore pomeridiane quattro e minuti venti,
in Bocchigliero, nella casa posta in Vico Manca."
Check out this family portrait from their 50th wedding anniversary in Canada.
While Nonno & Nonna are long departed, their descendants gather annually for a cousins' party. The family portrait -- now trying to contain over 100 cousins -- is a staple of the party.
