This photo was taken in the ground floor kitchen area of my grandparents house on Adams Street in the Bronx, NYC.  The house was three stories high and my grandparents used the top for residence and rented the middle (main) floor.  The ground floor had an attached railroad style wine cellar and general purpose cooler, (hanging deer, apples, etc.) as well as a large kitchen (to their right) for preparation, processing, and storage.  The person taking the photo was standing in front of the doorway to the garden and next to a large freezer.
   The people are (from the left): Virginio, Celeste (Aunt Tina, short for Celestina, which is what everyone called her), Secundo Farro (a family friend from Italy), Nan, my father, Grandpa, Jocko and Menia (also friends of the family), and my Aunt Betty.
