Page "Joe DiMaggio" Paragraph 6

Giuseppe was a fisherman, as were generations of DiMaggios before him.

According to statements from Joe's brother Tom to biographer Maury Allen, Rosalia's father wrote to her with the advice that Giuseppe could earn a better living in California than in their native Isola delle Femmine, an Italian town in North-Western Sicily, administratively part of the province of Palermo.
