Standing behind Valentina,my mother (seated on the left) is Giga Taurian in the black outfit. I believe that the gal standing beside her was name Mary and may have been related to the Moros. The women directly behind your mom is Catarina Duggi. <br /><br />Mario Taurian's car was a Chevrolet , the "Old Carrettone" was a 1934 Lafayette.<br /><br />This photo probably was taken in Bonny Doon on the Iacopetti Property, circa 1937-38.<br /><br />Sempre Avanti ivn0Ivano Franco Comellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088771740643993831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31758730.post-90540585459542587442011-06-24T08:42:37.843-07:002011-06-24T08:42:37.843-07:00Hey IvanO ,

The 'Old Rancere' got his groups mixed up (He did think the "Volvos" were older looking). He is still trying to come up with the correct promotional video for the 'Volvos'.

It was here that the Italians who lived in Davenport or on the Coast had their annual BBQ.<br /><br /> I have recorded some of my memories in my book 'La Nostra Costa". On page 234 I write:<br /><br />"These festive events were usually well attended, as attested by an article appearing in the Santa Cruz Sentinel, dated September 6, 1949. Beneath the caption, "ITALO-AMERICAN BARBECUE SLATED UP COAST SUNDAY." It went on to quote publicity chairman John Battistini (according to the article , Mario Lazzerini was general chairman) as saying that the event, first held in 1934, usually attracted more than 1,000 people from Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Sacramento, and Monterey Bay cities. I guess it was just to be understood that people living in Davenport or along the Coast Road would be there, since the article made no mention of their expected attendance."Ivano Franco Comellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088771740643993831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31758730.post-1915083112725007882011-05-18T08:17:15.384-07:002011-05-18T08:17:15.384-07:00I received this e-mail from Diane Bianconi McNeil
