Marianna Darin's only known photo

Marianna Da Rin Zoldan holding a grandchild or perhaps a great-grand-child.

Marianna Darin arrived in Brazil in 1888 with her older brother Giovanni Battista and a younger brother Francesco Apolonio. They came along with their father and mother who died less than 7 years later.

Marianna married an Italian man called Favero, in São José do Rio Pardo-SP and had a large family. Her brother Giovanni [who is my maternal grand-father] lived in the same area but moved on to Marilia-SP in 1927 taking his brother Francesco and his family along.

Francesco died in 1928 and Giovanni never saw his only sister again. Somehow I found this picture of Marianna's in my grand-father Giovanni's stuff after he died. Marianna must have sent it to him. They looked like a lot!

This is Adilson Darin, my uncle Octavio's oldest son. It was common to take snapshots of children playing with chooks in those times [early 40s].  Marilia-SP.
