Don Angel Gasco, Americo, Hija mayor Angelica, Arnaldo, Julia, Itala, Renato, Dona Gertrudis Hurtado de Mendoza, hija menor Yolanda.
The only reference of date for this picture would be that I know Renato was born in 1900. Mother Rosemary once told me that the date of birth of my father was not correct. Something to do when he went into the army. (?)
My guess is that Renato is about 25. For now, picture of 1925.
The visible shades is the photograph deteriorating.

The photo was maintained in a very nice paper holder.

Its curious that thoughts are in Italian. Did not know of Ms Carozzi !
Even at that age my father had a religious reach. Limited but real.
Resumen
The family in Cuzco, met all of them except my Grandfather, to his right: Abelardo Americo B1904, avid horse rider, survived a kick in the forehead. Angela Nicolasa B1902, Valcarcel described her as the most beautiful lady in town. Arnaldo Renan B1907 or 11-my father, was the chosen to be educated in Italy. Itala Roma B1906, active+ took me downtown Lima many times. Julia Celia B1910 classy, my Godmother. Angel Renato B1900, left household early to work in Puno, family did not appreciate. Met him once upon return after 50+ years. Grandmother Gertrudis, B1885 Mother @ 15 Knew her well. Gave me her blessing last time I saw her. Yolanda , the youngest daughter. No birth date. A firecracker with mysteries.
