The Quilietti Family

The story of a Scots Italian family

BRATTESANI Clotide 1890 – Zaccarii line

Clotide Brattesani was born in 1890 in Italy, most probably Borgotora.   She was the daughter of Giuseppe Brattesani 1831-1919 and Veronica Zaccarini. She was one of at least  11 children.

In 1910 in Manhatten, New York City,  we find Clotide residing with her brother Lorenzo, her sister-in-law  Clorinda Cardinale and Clorinda’s brother Giuseppe Cardinale, who was the first to arrive in New York IN 1894 when he was only 14.  Clotide is described as a Hair Dryer, or Hairdresser.  Lorenzo was a cook in a restaurant. Joseph Cardinale was an agricultural worker.
