Potenza, Basilicata, Italy
Date: 1960
Notes: La Pasquetta. On Easter Monday people went to the countryside and ate, drank and played games -- especially the kids. Present in the photo are those cousins who did not immigrate but remained in Italy.... My father had 4 brothers and 1 sister. Some of his brothers immigrated to South America, some to North America and the remainder stayed in Italy.

Terlizzi, Puglia, Italy
Date: 1960
Notes: My first return trip (1960).... I was born in Terlizzi, Puglia in 1946. I spent my early childhood in Belgium, where my father worked in the coal mines. In the early 1950s my father immigrated to Canada where I went to French school. In 1960 I returned to my home town and fell heads over heels with the small town. I loved the people, the smell and look of the place. I vowed I would return. In fact, I did do so later on -- I studied art in an Italian university and later lived in Venice for awhile. Present in the photo are: my grandmother Giovanna Cioce, her sister, Julia, and my brother, Gerardo (Jerry). The dress I am wearing was made by my mother. She made her living as a seamstress. Everyone loved the outfits she made.
