Marina Casamento Sponsored by his Uncle ‘Polverino’ Joe Casamento migrated to Australia from Salina, Aeolian Islands in 1920. His wife, Marina (nee Natoli), also from Salina, migrated to Australia with her parents and siblings in 1921. At first, their fruit shop was open from 7:30am until 11pm, and involved a visit to the market six of the seven days they were open per week. In later years, the fruit shop was closed by 8:30pm. The Casamento fruit shop sold fruit and vegetables and operated as a milk bar, florist and tobacconist. |
