Carlini Family
This Page last updated on
.
There are several Carlini families on this page.
Lucrezia Carlini
Frazzini daughter of
Giuseppe Carlino and
Dorestella diTella
My mother's mother was Lucrezia Carlini. My mother
remembered that her mother had two brothers, Felice and Armando, and a
sister
Elvira. Felice and his family ended up in the Ely, NV area. Elvira's
family ended up half in Italy and half in Pittsburgh (she married Luigi
Iasella). Armando never
married, he died in 1940 in Ely, NV. I have since identified two more
brothers Ersenio Giacinto Carlini who died at the age of 2 years (nato
1897 dec. 1899) and Felice Amato Carlini who died at about the age of 7
months.
Felice Carlini son of
Giuseppe Carlino and
Dorestella diTella
Felice Carlini,
US Army WWI, about 1917.
Felice was the son of Dorastella diTella and Giuseppe Carlino.
Photo from Clara Carlini, Felice's daughter.
Throughout the records from SPA, I see the name mostly written Carlino.
Generally, Carlino was used before about 1900 and Carlini afterward. I
don't know why it changed but many names had their final vowel changed
during that time period.
Felice was also known as Felix. He served in the US Armed
Forces during
WWI.

1920
Edmondo diSanza (brother of
Letizia) Felice Carlini
Letizia diSanza (wife of Felice)
The 1930 Census shows Felice at age 35, married at
age 23.
That would
date this photo to about 1918. Reference, shown below, the obituary of
Felice, says he was married in
1920 - which I think is correct.. The
1920 census lists an Edward diSanza, 21 years old. This may be the
brother of Letizia.

CARLINI JOE CLAUDIO 01/06/1925 DISANSEA
Male
NEVADA PLACER 11/15/1997

So this shows his mother's maiden name as DiSansea
which
is most likely
diSanza.
I've since found her birth record:. Her fullname
was
Letizia Blandina
diSanza. She was born in SPA 28 Apr 1896 to Radamisto diSanza and Adele
diLorenzo.
My mother remembered that she had a brother. I
found this
person in the microfilms from SPA:
Edmondo Domenico diSanza (born 21 Oct 1898).

 In
Jan of 2015, Felix Carlini's grandson, Tod, related to me that this
photo must have been taken before the RIP (Repair in Place) building
was built. The RIP building meant that the men did not have work
outside all year long while repairing rolling stock.

Todino
V. Carlini, son of Felice Carlini and Letizia diSanza. Sent to me in
Jun 2011 by his son, Tod F. Tod V., the elder, was a fullback at Utah
State.
From his son, Tod Carlini, Jul 2011:
My father
worked for the NNRY
for
a short time, most likely in the summer months. He
became a
very respected educator in Nevada and a school district
superintendent. He also was drafted by the Detroit Lions in
1951 to play professional football, but declined. My father
went
to WWII in the Navy and was four years older than most of his
team
mates in college. In the Navy, he was on the USS
Marathon. It was a troop transport. He
drove the
landing craft to the beach. His ship was torpedoed in Tokyo
Bay. I
remember him telling me about it.

26 Feb 1895 - 21 Aug
1944, Veteran |
From the 30 Aug 1944 issue of the Reno Evening Gazette (minor spelling
errors shown corrected in Italics):
Funeral services were held here Saturday for Felix
Carlini,
who died at the veterans' hospital in Salt Lake City last week. Carlini
was a pioneer resident of this district and had been in ill health for
the past three months.
Born February 25, 1895, in San Pietro Avellano (Avellana),
Italy, he came to the United States 31 years ago. He came directly to
White Pine county and had made his home here for the past 30 years. He
had been employed as a car inspector for the Nevada Northern railway
company.
Surviving is his widow, Mrs. Letizia Carlini, who he married in 1920;
two sons, Joseph and Todd Carlini, and three daughters, Mrs. Dora
Slight, Mrs. Norma Schmidt and Miss Clarra (Clara)
Carlini, all
of Ely. His mother in Italy and two sisters, Mrs. Lucrezia Frazzini of
Beverly (Beaver) Falls, Pa., and Mrs. Elvira Isalla (Iasella)
of Italy, also survive.
Pallbearers were Amadeo DiCianno, Mike Innachione, Peter DeRicco, Fred
Ricci, Domnic DiSanza and Joe Coliazzi. Burial was in the Ely cemetery,

SALT LAKE |
1920 Census had an entry for Felix Carlini, Ogden, Weber County,
UT. Showed him as 25 years old, single, not employed. A
lodger at
the
home of
Tony Poco (this would really be Tony Pace and wife Anna) and his
family. Also lodging there was Donatello Posey. The
age (25 years) works out correctly but my other sources show him
married at 20
and living in Ely for the entire time he was in the US. See the 1930
Census entry below which shows Felice was married about 1918 (might be
wrong) and was
raising a family in NV in the 1920's. So this is not my granduncle
Felice.
1930 Census had an entry for Felice and his family:
Felix Carlini, 35y, married at age 23, emigrated 1912, blacksmith for
the railroad, born in Italy (note: marriage had to be in 1920 as that
is when Letizia came to the US.)
Letizia, 34y, married at age 22, emigrated in 1920, born in Italy
Dora, 9y, born in Neveda
Norma, 6y, born in Neveda
Joe, 5y, born in Neveda
Todino, 3y, born in Neveda
Clara, 2m, born in Neveda
Armando
"Herman" Carlini son of
Giuseppe Carlino and
Dorestella diTella
Armando Carlini was the brother of Felice. He was my grand uncle.
Armando was born on 22 Apr 1900 in San Pietro Avellana and died in
1940. He
never married. He became a US Citizen About 7 Oct 1935 per an article
in the Reno Evening Gazette of 7 Oct 1935. For a portrait photo of
Armando, look above on this web page. In
Ely, he was known as Herman.
Armando, like almost everyone in Ely, worked for the railroad - in this
case the Nevada
Northern
Railway.
From the Reno
Evening Gazette, Monday, June 24, 1940, page 9:
Funeral services were held Saturday at the Sacred
Heart
Catholic church for Herman Carlini, forty years old, of Ely, who died
suddenly in a local hospital Wednesday night at 11:45 o'clock,
following an operation. He had been ill several days prior to his death
and was taken to the hospital for an operation Wednesday.
Born in Italy in 1900, he came to this country as a young man and for
fifteen years was employed by the Nevada
Northern
Railway Company.
Interment was in the Ely cemetery.
He is survived by a brother, Felix Carlini, and his family, of Ely; a
sister, Mrs Lucrezia Frazzini of Pennsylvania, and his mother and a
sister, residing in Italy.
Lucrezia (Carlini) Frazzini was my grandmother. Here is a letter
found at the East Ely Railroad Depot Museum report his death
to the railroad management.

Enrichetta
diTella Carlini daughter of
Emidio diTella and Maria
Angelica D'Achille
22
June
03 - My
mother remembered Enrichetta diTella, sister of her grandmother Doristella
diTella. She remembered her husband as Giovanni Carlini and
their daughters, Gina, Ebolina, Vera (the youngest child born
about 1912) and
Carina, and four brothers, Novino, Eliseo and 2 more. Enrichetta's
father's name was Eliseo. From the LDS microfilms (Film
1448676 Pubblicazioni 1891 #14), I found a sister of Doristella named
Maria Angelica Enrichetta who married a Giovanni Benedetto Carlini on
16
Apr 1891. Having 8 children after being married in 1891 would put the
youngest child around 1912.
From
their tombstone in SPA cimitero, Giovanni Carlini and Enrica
(Enrichetta)
diTella
Their 8 children:

Gina Maria Carmina Carlini.
Born 10 July
1895. Gina died in 1978. She was my mother, Benilda Frazzini's, baptism
Godmother.
Full name: Hygina Maria Carmina Carlini. For
more photos of Gina and her family, look at the
Frazzini
Italy Photos page.

Ebolina Carlini.
Born 19 Jan 1900. She
died in 1984. Full name: Ebola Sabba Antonia
Carlini. My cousin Nino Carlini showed me a 4th grade report card for
his aunt. It is from the school year 1910-11. Her father's occupation
on it is "muratore" - brick layer or mason. For more comments about
this report card, look at my SPA
page.

I am now
in contact with the son of Eliseo, Nino Carlini.
In 2004, I sent out one of my "Am I your cousin?"
letters to as many
Carlini in southern California as I could find. A few weeks later I got
a phone call and an email from Nino and his
wife
Rosalie, who live in Mission Viejo, CA. He wrote:
Carissimo cugino Marco;
We are
extremely happy that you found us.
We are looking
forward to meeting you and your wife,......as soon as possible.
In San Pietro
mi chiamano: "GIU-UANNIN RU MULNAR" and I'm very proud of it.
Un abbraccio,
your cousin Nino.
Nino's father,
Eliseo, was born in SPA, his mother was born in Carovilli.
Nino and I visited many times. He shared photos and stories of growing
up in Italy. In his house, one room had its walls covered with photos,
maps and everything Italian.
Every visit, of course, was centered around food as is the Italian
tradition. Although, with Nino, talking came in a close second and Nino
had hundreds of stories to tell. His yearly visits to Carovilli and SPA
always made for more stories.
His daughter, Marisa, told me that he passed away on the 9th
of
May 2011 from kidney failure. His wife, Rosalia, had died in 2010. Here
is his obituary.

Novino Carlini and

I'm pretty sure that I know the people in the following photos. I've
identified them the best I could - mostly with my mother's help. In
cases where a note in Italian was written on the back of the photo,
I have tried to type in that note as accurately as I could. Updated
with help from Alfonso diSanza and his mother Laura diTella. Updated
with nelp from Nino Carlini.

SPA 22/11/52
"Della cora zia con tante affettuorita, Pia"
Signed "Pia" and appears to be taken the same time as the next photo of
Vera. Probably Pia Carlini, daughter of Novino Carlini, son
of
(Maria Angelica) Enrichetta diTella and Giovanni Carlini. Alfonso
diSanza and his mother confirmed that this is Pia Carlini. Nino Carlini
confirmed that this is Pia Carlini.
Stamp on the back read "Trieste Mariani - Sant'Angelo del Pesco".
