From Italy to New Haven and beyond: Generations gather annually to celebrate family
Jul 28, 2014
801
More than a century ago, Francesco Vollono left Italy and the poverty in his hometown outside Naples for a new life in America.
Joined by his wife, Annunziata, and their three children in 1905, they were part of the early wave of immigrants who took up residence in Wooster Square
Five generations of their descendants, led by their granddaughter, Nancy Mastriano, 79, and her husband, Anthony "Sparky" Mastriano, 84, of North Haven will celebrate the couple and the importance of family at a 50th formal reunion on Sunday.
