BIOGRAPHY

Libby DelGiudice was born in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, on 21 August 1916, to parents Giuseppe (Joseph) Montecalvo (1888–1956) and Maria D’Agostino (1896–1986). She had five siblings: Angelina Paone (1913–1992), Michael, Lucrezia (1918–2010), Frank (1920–2021), and Rose A. Antonelli (1933–2022).

At only 4 years old, her family moved to Italy to leave in the village of Vieste Foggia until age 17, giving her accent she still has. Her father and brothers owned a tomato and olive canning company, but after returning to Rhode Island they started Montecalvo’s market.

She returned to Italy to marry Andrew DelGiudice in 1937, and the couple remained married for 74 years, until his death on 5 June 2011, at the age of 97. They had two children, Michael DelGiudice and Victoria Gibb. She lived in Cranston for 65 years before moving to Coventry to live with her daughter, Victoria.
