all Italian dishes. Never the less, it was a great meal. And after all, it was all Fish.
We had tasty Langostines, prepeared completely bu Eddie. Alessandra and I both worked on
the Stuffed Calamari (my Recipe). And Eddie made the Stufato di Pesce, with some help from me.

Yes, my Grandfather Nonno Filipo Bellino was a Shoemaker in the town of Lercara Friddi, Sicily,
40 minutes south of Palermo. Frank Sinatra's father Saverio Antonino Martino Sinatra was born in Lercara Friddi and his father was a shoemaker in the town.

Filipo Bellino. They were both around the same age, give or take a few years.
My grandfather immigrated to America through Ellis Island, New York in 1902. Filipo then
settled in Lodi, New Jersey where he set up a Shoemake Shop on Main Street, marrying
Giuseppina Salemi. Filipo and Giuseppina lived upstairs from the Shoemaker Shop and had 4 children, my Aunt Lilly was born first, then Uncle Jimmy (James) veteran of WW II and recipient of the Purple Heart in The Battle of The Bulge, Uncle Frank was the 3rd child. Frank Bellino was in
The United States Marine Corps during World War LL, in the Pacific Theater. Then came Uncle Tony who was also in the US Army in WW II where he was head of The Officers Club at
The George V Hotel in Paris after the Allied Forces Liberated the city.
My mother Lucia (Lucy) was the youngest, born in Lodi 1923 ...
