Figure 1.--he boy here is Sal Montasano. We are not yet sure if he is Italian or Italian-American. He wears a white short pants suit with white knee socks for his first communion. We thought the portrait might have been taken in the 1950s, but the background looks older, perhaps the 1940s. Sal looks to be about 10 years old.

Sal Montasano (United States/Italy, 1940s)

The boy here is Sal Montasano. We are not yet sure if he is Italian or Italian-American. He wears a white short pants suit with white knee socks for his first communion. Even hos shoes are white. Sal has been vert carefully spruced up for his portrait, with his hair combed and his knee socks pulled up just right. You can tell it is a First Communion suit,because of the large sleece bow. Sal also has a rosary and prayer book. We thought the portrait might have been taken in the 1950s, but the background looks older, perhaps the 1940s. Sal looks to be about 10 years old.
