Portrait of Vincenzo Bassano
This is a black and white portrait of Antoinette (Toni) Ciccarelli's father, Vincenzo Bassano, who migrated to Canada from Italy in the early 19th century. Vincenzo Bassano migrated to Canada in 1909 in search of work. His wife and children joined him later on. He is shown from mid-thigh up, seated with his hands placed on top of each other. He is wearing a newspaper boy cap, a suit with a white shirt and a striped tie. He looks off camera and his expression is emotionless.
