Luigi and Tellino

It was the Festa di S.Antonio which reunited these two lifelong friends in Mortale yesterday.  Luigi Cambone is 101 years old and still lives in the village.  Antonio Vecchio (known as Tellino) is 92 years old and spent most of his life in Mortale before moving away to be looked after by his nephew a few years ago.  Both have been friends of the Forte family for decades.  They both look well and it was wonderful to see them together in the village again.

    Hi,My Uncle is Telino.He’s my father Samuele’s older brother,we went over to see him last November. He looks well.
    They have an older brother called Rofaleo who’s 95!.
    I remember Mortale well when we used to visit and I recognise a lot of people.
    I’m in Llandudno, North Wales, where there is a Forte family here.
