THREE ICONS OF THE CENTRAL COAST: (l-R) Tony Franceschini, Leon Panetta and John Battistini. (December 1989)
From the book "La Nostra Costa (Our Coast): "Francesco spent three full months in Santa Cruz Hospital and another three months in an apartment nearby. During this period, his wife Nuncia, along with special nurses cared for his every need. Francesco was so severely burned that he could not feed himself. Nuncia was constantly at his side taking care of him, talking to him, and reading from Italian newspapers and books to keep his moral up." (1940) Francesco (Frank) Franceschini was the father of Tony.
