I'm still learning about this formidable looking woman who was my paternal Grandmother. Carmela Macri married Carmelo Zito on 1 September 1883 at the age of 18. They had 10 children, the 9th being my father Carmine. Carmela was born in 1865 in the Calabrian village of Molochio. Carmela died on the 18 August, 1929 just three years after her son Carmine migrated to Australia. This is the only photo we have of her.
How do I celebrate the life of a wonderful woman - my Mother, Francesca Zito? By getting all of you to celebrate the special women in your life. Send me a message with your story and I will reply requesting further information. (You can only do this from a desktop and not from your mobile.) The aim is to get at least 100 stories and 100 photos of 100 women by my Mother's 101st birthday on the 5 February, 2017. I look forward to receiving your stories and photos.
