Figure 1.-- This photo was taken in Caerano, a village near Venice, in 1939. It shows two brothers, Walter and Dino Danieli. Dino, the elder brother, wears a traditional dark sailor suit. Walter wears a white dress and strap shoes. Both bears have white anklets. The boys look about 1-5 years old. It looks like mother is trying to curl Walter's hair.

This photo was taken in Caerano, a village near Venice, in 1939--sa notvery happy year in European history. It shows two brothers, Walter and Dino Danieli. Dino, the elder brother, wears a traditional dark sailor suit. Only his four stripe detailing is a little off. Notice the decorative buttons on Dino's short pants. That was someting you still see to some extent in the 1930s, but disappeared in he 1940s. Walter wears a plain white dress and strap shoes. Both brothers have white anklets. We wonder if Dino is earing lace p oxfords because he has learned to tie his shoes. I remember having trouble with that. The boys look about 1-5 years old. It looks like mother is trying to curl Walter's hair.
