The stories of his youth in Pescara, the city that he loved, brought smiles, laughter and tears to us all.

He was passionate about gardening and his greenhouse.

For many, many years, Tony would visit our family shortly before Christmas, bringing with him Christmas treats (which always included at least one box of delicious torrone!). After my father passed away in 2014, he would continue to visit my mother at Christmas time. He phoned her in 2023, as he said he was unable to pay a visit. After New Year’s this year, we realized that we never heard from Tony. My mother said she’d call him, but I looked up and sadly saw this obituary.
Tony was a very kind, generous, and thoughtful man. He had a beautiful smile that lit up his face, and he was very proud of his three daughters. We extend our deepest condolences to Luana, Ines, and Beatrice, and all who loved Tony.
(By the way, that is such a lovely picture of Tony!)
