Beautiful story!!!!! I enjoyed reading about my “bakery” friends. I always talked to Rosa while shopping at her bakery but never knew about her life story. I, too, was 10 years old in 1961 when my parents Immigrated to the USA from the Azores. I could relate to Calogero’s first impression coming to the US. I always felt so “at home” whenever I shopped at Canfora’s. Loved buying the ricotta cheese because it was like the fresh cheese my Mom made for me when I was young. Best of luck to a beautiful couple and enjoy your retirement life!!!!!

I can’t find the article I am looking for. But I love the ones I do see.

Shepherd boy painting done by Robert Uvari. I remember it well. Robert was a very good friend of the family and a wonderful artist

Oh my goodness. Calogero may have been the original owner of my 1991 Camaro that I’ve owned since April 1992! My grandparents both came to Milwaukee from Palermo! Their sirnames are Minessale & Guffre. I am also your age. I lived in South Milwaukee for many years.

This is beautiful love story of family and community. My grandparents emigrated to Milwaukee from Sicily. I have never lived in Milwaukee but my parents and extended families did. Many of them lived in the Bay View area near Oklahoma Avenue. When Canfora Bakery opened I always made purchases here for our family gatherings. The favorite was Canfora Casatta Cake which I purchased for my father! Thank you Canfora’s.
