Clelia Bollo Angelo Belfanti and Clelia Busca Belfanti Angelo Belfanti

Chestnut Edward Sts: Clelia Busca Belfanti and Angelo Belfanti, circa 1921, according to Toronto Star. By John Lorinc Special to the Star Thu., May 26, 2016 In 1921, Clelia Bollo and Angelo Belfanti, both Italian immigrants to Toronto, purchased a rambling three-storey hotel/tavern at the corner of Chestnut and Edward Sts. The goal was to create an authentic Italian eatery with a mix style, hominess and fine cooking. Like so many newcomers to the city, they wanted to start a business. She married a Bracebridge tannery worker and the couple had two children, but the First World War left her a widow. Bollo had emigrated from the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy in the 1880s as child. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
