Read their story

We all lived at 114 James Street, Northbridge. In 1940 we moved to our new building at 49-51 Lake & Francis Streets, Northbridge. Opened up a delicatessen and grocery shop at 51 Lake St. as well as a hair dressing salon. When we arrived here Rosina was 13yrs old and married a USS Chief Petty Officer Don Errichetti who had a 9yr old son, Sam Rifici, now well know in ladies and gents hairdressing in Australia. We had another son born in 1934, Charlie Rifici who became a prominent reinsman in the trotting industry.
