Misc. Notes
His passport appears to show his birthdate as 7 May 1866, and birthplace as Lucca, Italy.
Listed in the 1891 San Francisco directory at 1605 Folsom, with his brother Massimo.
He is recorded as age 30 arriving at Ellis Island on 7 Aug 1898 from Parezzana, Italy aboard the ship La Bretagne from Le Havre, Seine-Inferior, France. With him was Euphemia (20) and Narcisco (15 single male), apparently a relative.
Alida says there were 4 daughters, 2 born in Italy and 2 after they moved to the U.S.
1900 census lists him (34) born Feb 1866, his wife Afaemia (22) born Apr 1878, and their daughter Angelina born Jun 1898 in CA. They were living behind 43 Sheridan, married 3 yrs with only 1 child and his business listed as retail Fruit Merchant. Both of their parents were also born in Italy and he immigrated in 1882, while she came in 1899 (this is at odds with her daughter's place of birth, see 1910).
They must have returned to Italy, as he arrived thru Ellis Island again, alone at age 37 on 10 Oct 1903 on the ship La Savoie from the same port in France, with his wife returning in 1904.
1910 census lists them at 2776-21st St with Attilie (42) and Efemia (31) both born in Italy and married 12 yrs. He immigrated in 1882 and was working in a Produce/Fruit Store, she immigrated in 1887. It listed only Alida (8) and Florence (3), but said they had 4 children, 2 living. Angelina and Delia must have both died between 1900 - 1910!
1920 census lists Attilio (51), Fannie (42) and Florence (12) at the same address as 1910 on 21st St. He owned the home and ran a Fruit Store. It also lists their immigration as 1882 & 1900, both aliens.
He returned to Italy yet again, as he re-entered the US at Ellis Island on 26 May 1921 on the ship Pesaro from Genoa, Liguria, Italy. He was 54, and accompanied by his wife Euphemia (42) and daughter Florence (14). The record lists his brother Massimo Frediani, living in Parezzana.
He was originally buried in Cypress Lawn Cemetery in Daly City, but when his wife died they exhumed and moved his grave to Holy Cross to be with the rest of the family.

She was listed as Fannie in 1920 census. She never got her US citizenship, and had to register as an alien during WWII as well as report any trips, etc.
After her husbands death in 1930, she was living with her daughter Alida’s family in 1940, as well as her brother Narcisco.
She is listed with both Alida’s family in Saratoga as well as daughter Florence and husband in 1950 in Half Moon Bay.
