Recipes, memories, pasta and the past with Anna Piccoli & daughter Franca #ElderWisdom | Stories from the Green Bench

    • Relationships

Episode #38 - Erin Davis & Doug Robinson sit on the virtual green bench with Anna Piccoli and daughter Franca Smith to continue the conversation on our theme of connection, family, and service.

Anna lives with her husband of 62 years, Aldo, and her sister Josephine at The Village of Glendale Crossing in London, Ontario.

”I love everybody, especially my children and my grandchildren ...  and nobody smokes.” -Anna Piccoli

Anna left Italy to live with her sister Josephine in Canada.  While writing back and forth with Aldo for a year, she convinced him to come over to Canada and got married.

Why Canada?  Tony and Josephine moved to London, Ontario as there were lots of job opportunities.  As more family arrived in Canada, the whole family stayed close in the same neighbourhood.

“Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city” - George Burns
