Battista Scalcini

Battista  was married to a daughter of the Deghi family and they had at least one child named Anna. Battista made at least two trips to America. The first trip was in 1902 when his daughter was just an infant. He arrived in New York on March 18 and continued on to San Francisco. We do not know how long he remained in America. At some point in time he returned to Italy only to make another trip to the United States in the year 1905. This time he went from New York City to Mendocino County in northern California. This is where he was living when Nonno emigrated to the United States in 1910. Sometime after this, Battista returned to his family in Italy. His daughter Anna had her father’s zest for adventure and she set out for America.
