Not sure what to say?

Ariosto and "Dolly" ... my Godfather and Godmother .. I learned to love at a tender age. Always wonderful and welcoming to me .. I have fond memories of spending time visiting with them and next door at my grandparents' house. Too bad the years drew us apart as I entered the military and spent 20 years in uniform and traveling. They will forever have a special place in my heart.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Tribute to Ariosto Tontodonati from Son-in-Law, Joseph Pezzano


Society likes to label generations with names that typify their character. I would like to name the generation from which ARIOSTO came from as the "UNREAL" generation.
Let's take a look at his life and put it into perspective....

What kind of man today could leave his native land, with a limited education, very little money and begin a "new" life in a country he knew very little about.

Camilla and family, I have only heard the most beautiful and loving family stories of all of you starting with the warm loving stories of your parents: Dally and Ariosto. You have been blessed forever and now you have a generous star added to heaven to watch over you all. You have brought love to all you have known, Camilla and that's your parents' gift to you and your family. Love

Ariosto and Elizabeth with friends in Pompano

May he rest in peace Camilla. You have an angel watching over you and the rest of your family... You are all in my prayers Lisa C. (NY)
