I found some old pictures in my dad’s photo book from the time (post 1973) he went to Carrara to visit Almo and Eligio and family. You can see those three plus Almo’s wife and a few of Franco! The other relatives Nancy and I may have met in 1973; a banker cousin and his wife whose house was tiled in multi colored marble inside.
Dad also took photos of Alligio’s grave site. I included a wider view so that we may be able to locate this place.

Do you remember Archies’ friend Cinque and his Linguini with Clam Sauce? Many years ago (circa 1980) there for Christmas party. You can see me being served in the doorway. Back then I could eat plenty of pasta! Recipe follows.
Archie and his Chicken Diablo
Archie at the stove.
Add clam juice to a pot of water, boil and cook linguini to al dente.
Meanwhile, chop garlic, parsley and grate plenty of parmesan.
Cook chopped garlic in butter and olive oil, add chopped clams and cook briefly, then add salt and pepper. Drop pasta by the spoonfuls into the saucepan and stir. Add chopped parsley (squeeze of lemon?) and transfer directly to a large bowl. Sprinkle plenty of parmesan, more salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
