Angelo Tardio

Our youngest son Angelo has been named after his great-uncle Angelo Tardio, born on March 29^th, 1920 as the youngest son of Angelo Antonio Tardio and Maria Rosa Roselli. 

Also around 1920 there was still a high death rate amongst young children and on October 4^th, 1923 fate hit, 3-year old Angelo died suffering one of the many children-diseases of that time. 

Before his death a photo was made of the family, unfortunately without his father who did pass away earlier that year on March 8^th, 1923. However it was this photograph that would result that 75 years afterwards Edmondo would find out that his grandfather had a younger brother. About this fact was never been spoken by the entire family and had resulted in forgetting. 

We thought it would be a nice idea to name our youngest son after his great-uncle and bringing back the almost lost memory of a member of the family and by doing so preserve this memory. 

We tried to do this in a very special way by giving Angelo six names of famous and/or well-known Italians, each beginning with a letter of his pet name. By doing so we also respected the wish of Luciano to give his little brother six names.
