1945 Ferlita Family at Home in Tampa

Joe Ficarrotta recorded his aunt and cousins at the Ferlita house in South Tampa. The matriarchs of the Ferlita family owned and operated the Ferlita Macaroni Factory in Ybor City. Today the old factory building is Casa Santo Stefano Italian Restaurant. For Joe, later as an adult he turned his hobby of photography into a career to become the Director of Photography at NASA.
