He was born in Genoa, where as a young man wrestled for Italy in the 1948 Olympics in London. A local hero, he served in the Italian Resistance and was the model for a giant statue of a fisherman that still stands overlooking the harbor in Genoa. Later, adopted by Mr. Coolidge, he became an American citizen and always considered America his spiritual home É he truly loved this country. For many years, he would leave Genoa every spring and return to the Cove Garden, where he was passionate about sharing his Northern Italian cuisine with many enthusiastic followers. His warm, outgoing personality as host and chef made diners feel part of a large Italian family and he attracted an international clientele. His two daughters, Brenda of Genoa, Consuelo of Hamburg, Germany and a grandchild, survive him.
