famiglia
all of these are from various photo albums that sat untouched for years in my house. unless otherwise noted, everyone in the photos are family
(unsure of who is in this picture, but i suspect it is my grandmother, my grandfather in the background, and her brother, sisto taking the picture)
my great-grandmother, giacincta, and her granddaughter, lynn. one of my favorite pictures ever. june 1962
my great-grandparents, giacincta and lavinio, and lynn. the two loved each other more than anyone could possibly imagine.
my grandfather and his war buddies, unknown location
hahahaha, my uncle gary with his kids... early 80's. i can't help but laugh when i see this.
my grandfather (holding newspaper) during world war II... i wish i knew where it was taken
my beloved grandmother, circa 1945. i have a colorized photograph from this same sitting, but a different pose. she was such a beautiful girl, and a beautiful woman. i wish i had more time to get to know her.
my dad, and our old dog, faccia. circa 1988
my dad (right), with one of his devilishly mischievous cohorts, circa 1960
