Antonia was born on March 29, 1920, in Reggio Calabria, Italy. She immigrated from Italy in 1955 to Montreal, Canada, where she assisted her brother and his family for five years. Rosario and Antonia were married in Montreal on March 19, 1960. The newlyweds relocated to Eagle Rock, California, where they lived for 19 years. Antonia was an accomplished seamstress in Eagle Rock, a trade she learned at a young age in Italy. The family’s next move was to Ventura County where they settled in Newbury Park and bought and ran Enrico’s Italian Restaurant and Deli for many years. Antonia, lovingly known as Nannie by many, attended almost every baseball and dance competition her grandchildren participated in.
