" To Remember and Understand"

Carbone, Serafino

Serafino "Fino" Carbone, was born in Canicattini Bagni. He moved his family to the US in 1969 and settled in Wethersfield. He started a very successful painting and wallpapering business, with many clients in the Connecticut area.

In his youth, Serafino was part of the marching band and was a member of the soccer team in his home town in Sicily. He also played for many years with the Canicattinese soccer team in Hartford.

He greatly enjoyed going to the Italian club and was always the first to volunteer to be a tour guide for visitors coming from Italy.

He enjoyed traveling back to Sicily on many occasions to spend time with family. His many friends will remember him for his witty sense of humor.

Fino died in April 2012!

He is survived his wife Paola and their three children; by seven grandchildren and a sister in Italy.
