Francesco Cafarella Son of Domenico and Rosa

 

I am just speculating now, but I think this is the uniform of the Bersaglieri of the Royal Italian Army.

 I finally found the photo of Lucy's grandfather.
 I believe it was taken about 1963
 before he and his wife left Sicily forever
 to join the largest part of the family
 here in Melbourne.  I think that it is a
powerful photo of the old fisherman
who had been through the wars, lived as
well as possible in real poverty
and whose future is now with his
descendants in Sicily, Australia, and Argentina.

Well, for me, this is one of the most powerful photographs
of family that I have ever posted.
 I have a beauty from my Mitchell side and
so many nice family pictures,
 but this one is art, pure and simple.
 Even if you do not know who this is,
you can feel it inside.

A New Blog

I have been blogging for a long time now about family.  In that time, some of the blogs have become a bit cumbersome.  To help in navigation of the blogs, I have deleted those posts that do not strictly adhere to the original intent. 
http://cafarella-cincotta.blogspot.com was intended to be stories about the family history.
http://cincotta-cafarella.blogspot.com was to show mostly pictures of family.
http://cafarella-cincotta.blogspot.com was for family recipes from all sources.
http://mitchell-day-jones.blogspot.com  was for Mitchell side family posts of all sorts.

Now I have added a new blog to which I have transferred all references, historic photos and maps that refer to family in passing, but include all the history of the Aeolian Islands, family related locations and general history of the islands. it is at:
