Here is a picture i found of 3 Musicians (accordion Players), off a video related to Liverpool Italians. Connected to Volante maybe?
I am interested to know who they are, especially the lady in the middle?
Any Guesses??

They are in Terry Cooke's book 'Little Italy'. Debz D'annunzio has done a follow up called Italian Families. I take it you have these. My friend Paul Sudbury put together that youtube clip as it formed part of his film Garden of stones for Italian consulate Nunzia Bertali during our event at the Ristorante in town and also the Liverpolitalia event at the Silvestrian. I will check to see if they are named when I get home.
Yeh, that'll be great. Thanks GED!
Sorry, the pic is off the Scottie Press not the book.
See.: http://www.scottiepress.org/projects/litaly.htm
However an Amando Capaldi does give an interview in the book, along with quite a few other Italians.

What an excellent write up! Best i've seen posted on Capaldi's!
I have'nt got the book 'Liverpools Italian Families'. I have tried to purchase Debra D'annunzio's but it wasn't available.
I dont suppose the book shows any other Capaldi's?
You always get the best info here on Yo :celb (23): :)
Capo, by the way, that Park Road Capaldi's I told you about...for what it's worth in 1938 the same shop was owned by another Italian it seems - fella by the name of Antonio Riccio (an ice cream maker)
Great, Thanks dave. There were so many Italians in the Cafe, Ice Cream, Milk Shop business its hard to keep on top of it all!
My Family were also from just outside naples running a farm. May be connected to Armando on a far!
Ged, can you please tell me if you know of any other Capaldi mentioned in the book?
...Italian consulate Nunzia Bertali ...
What years was he consul?
Anybody know of any Capaldi's mentioned in 'Liverpool's Italian Family' books?
She - and still is, has been for the last few years.Quote:

Have you also contacted Liverpolitalia - I expect you have googled or looked into these things in your quest for Capaldi information???
Thanks, but unfortunately np luck from Nunzia Bertali. I sent an email to Liverpoolitalia twice, about 2-3 months ago, but got no reply?
I have now ordered the death cert. for Alex Capaldi. I hope it has a relitives name on for me to go by?

I was just a few decades off...:)Quote:

My sister and I apparently had many great discussions with him - and then he drove off in his big car (an American Motors Ambassador, IIRC) with diplomatic plates...:)
This would have been in the early 60's - mum said the Liverpool office was closed and moved to Manchester, has it re-opened in Liverpool for Nunzia Bertali, or is she actually based in Manchester?
Hi Capo..All the info you ask about is in my partners book. The book will be out again soon and there's another one on the way. :PDT11Quote:
