The Caprotti family’s ancestors: maternal great-grandparents, Giuseppe Venosta and Argia Neri Venosta, grandfather Guido’s parents

Giuseppe Venosta (1880 - 1939) was an engineer who worked all his life at Pirelli until his death from cancer, a disease that was incurable at the time, of which his wife Argia was also a victim, some ten years after him. His son Guido, my grandfather, many years later became very involved in the fight against the disease that had killed his father and, a decade later, his mother as well.
