We are sad to have just heard the news that Adelfa passed away this morning, less than a month since the passing of her husband, Tony.
Adelfa was always the life and soul of Mortale, and many of us will remember her kindness, her sense of humour and her love for family and friends. She was often spotted foraging in the mountains, tending her garden, or bottling and preserving her produce for the winter, and we will all miss her and her enthusiasm for village life and old traditions when we next return.
Tony and Adelfa were always inseparable, and we hope that they may now rest in peace together. Our condolences go once again to their children, Silvano, Sergio, Silvio, and Mo, and to all their partners, children, grandchildren and extended family, as well as to her brother, Nino, and sister, Maria, to their families and to the family of her late brother, Carluccio.
