BIOGRAPHY
Maria Mattivi was born in Bedollo, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy, on 29 November 1904. She and her brother Cristiano were the only two of nine siblings to survive into adulthood. Her grandfather, who had worked as a miner in the United States, returned home suffering from silicosis. Her father left to fight in World War I. She received her education in the Austrian school system of the time, completing eight years of elementary school.
At the age of 25, she married Fortunato, and together they had three children: Adelia (born in 1930), Ester (1934), and Luciano (1948).
