Following the birth of their first child, Antonino and Rosaria broke a significant and long-standing tradition when they named their daughter "Basilia" - after someone other than a grandparent.

Basilia Pintabona's father, Antonino, was born on a Tuesday morning in 1872 in Sant'Angelo di Brolo, at the family home on Contrada Miceli.

Basilia Pintabona was born on 17 October, 1897 in the Sant'Angelo di Brolo region of Sicily.

Over time, the significance of chilli peppers as a popular vegetable extended beyond the kitchen to become a cultural symbol representing Calabria.

Wild quails were not particularly meaty, but this seasonal game added variety and flavour to Moschilla meals - supplementing a basic diet of vegetables, pasta and bread.

In a race against time, a whirlwind of drama unfolds as Concetta sprints across the countryside, praying to reach home before she gives birth.

Giuseppe, Angela, Andrea and Cecilia are linked in a single family tree, with branches centred on Salvatore Moschilla and Concetta Trimboli.

A family of ten: Salvatore and Concetta and their children - Giovanni, Angela, Maria, Cecilia, Girolama, Rosa, Andrea and Giuseppina.

Carmelo and Francesca lived in Sant'Angelo di Brolo with their large family of nine children born between 1889 to 1908 (inclusive).

Carmelo was born in 1860 in Sant'Angelo di Brolo. Casella photographs of his generation are rare, yet two group images have been discovered.

The Moschilla children grew up surrounded by grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, all living within walking or donkey ride distance.

Cunzia gazed into the lens of the camera knowing that very soon her eldest son was going to leave Italy and join her husband in Australia.

The name Giuseppe Casella is traced back to Sant'Angelo, in 1777. From here, many others with the same name are found on the family tree.

The foreign world of coal mining in America faded into a distant dream, almost forgotten. The countryside was where Andrea truly belonged.

Andrea Moschilla departed from Naples on a sea voyage to America to work in coal mines. He left his newlywed wife Cecilia Pedulla in Italy.

Andrea and Cecilia's wedding took place in the Parish of San Nicola, Siderno Superiore. Sadly, within 3 months, bride and groom separated.

On 4 March 1875, at 11:13 pm, in their home on via Flavia, Fortunata Fragomeni and Francesco Moschilla's son, Andrea, was born.

Born in 1877, Cecilia was a gentle and unique woman, shaped by the cultural norms of her era, with one exception - she could read and write.

Much like seeds drifting in the wind, the news of Andrea's return from America to marry Cecilia spread for kilometres across rural Siderno.

Andrea was not a miner. In Siderno he lived his life under an azure sky surrounded by wheat fields, fragrant citrus trees and olive groves.
