Tragically, his parents died, so he and three brothers and a sister returned to Borgiallo, Italy and started the Temporino Auto factory. When WW I started, he served in the Italian Ski Troops for 3 years. Later he returned to Lead and is now buried there.David John Hastiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668499102291275170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769870738847154628.post-52180775385652224932016-10-10T10:08:35.966-07:002016-10-10T10:08:35.966-07:00Another site of pilgrimage: thanks for sharing.
