FIRST LOVE, LAST LOVE
WAITED SEVENTY YEARS FOR HER OCTOGENARIANS WED Seventy years ago a youth of 19 fell in love with a girl one year his junior at Syracuse, in Sicily. The parents on both sides opposed the match and the girl was compelled to marry a husband of her father’s choosing. She remained loyal to him and the couple celebrated their golden wedding together. Then she became a widow and her thoughts turned once more to the romance of her youtji. So it came about that the registrar at Syracuse found before him, seeking matrimony, Giuseppe Perconte, aged S 9, and Maria Valeriano, 88. Giuseppe had remained a bachelor all these years.
