Bari montage very nice

Francesco Nicoletti and Maria Carnevale with their grandson Giovanni

My mom’s family comes from Bari and in fact her oldest brother did not migrate from there until after WWII. My grandmother’s family was from Acquaviva delle Fonti and my grandfather’s from Toritto. Like most people from Bari at the time, most of the men farmers and many of the women were seamstresses. I have not been there yet, but hope to go there very soon. My cousin is working on translating an interview that he did with his father about life in Bari in the early part of the 20th century and I hope to be able to share that soon.
