Montreal, Quebec, Canada | | Date: 1958 | Notes: Cincenzo Ciamarra was born in Duronia, Molise. As a young man he served in the army; first, he fought in Ethiopia, later in Italy. After World War II he immigrated to Canada. The early years were difficult, he did odd jobs and worked in construction. Fortunately, there were many people from Molise in Montreal and that made living here less lonesome. His life-long dream was to own his own business. After many years of "sudore e di sacrifici" (sweat and sacrifice) he opened his own grocery shop," Fleury Fruit Store," and his dreams for a better life were realized.
The photo and short biography of Cincenzo Ciamarra were first published in Centro Dante's "Album di Famiglia (1996). Permission to use the material was granted by Santa Cabrini Hospital's administration. For more information visit: www.santacabrini.qc.ca. | Contributed by: Courtesy of The Santa Cabrini Hospital
