Location: Sicily, Italy
Date: 1860 to 1908
The photographs show Carmelo Casella (b.1860), his wife Francesca Catrini and their nine children.
*Antonino Pintaudi is the biological son of Carmelo and half-brother of the Casella siblings pictured.
The ten siblings were born in the Sant’Angelo di Brolo region between 1889 to 1908 (inclusive).
The Casella siblings were born and raised in Carmelo and Francesca’s family home located on Contrada Calamaci. Multiple generations of Casella descendants have lived in the house and over time, extended the size of the building to accommodate a growing family more comfortably. However, the original, small, single storey cottage where Carmelo and Francesca lived stills remains intact today.
