Catalogue Note
Barbaresi (1882-1967) immigrated to the United States from Italy in 1911 and was naturalized. The 1930 census lists him as a cabinetmaker in a factory (likely the Kittinger Furniture Company), living on Brucella Street in Buffalo, New York with his wife, Antoinette, his two daughters, and a boarder.
