ABSTRACT

The epilogue briefly informs the reader about the events, both work- and family-oriented, that took place in maestro Prisco’s life after the death of Senator Donato Di Marzo and the end of their correspondence. An examination of censuses and genealogical documents has enabled us to retrace the lives of the maestro, and his two daughters in the years after their marriages. In particular, they narrate the circumstances of Prisco’s death on 4 December 1919 and those surrounding the untimely death of his daughter Eleonora, less than a year later. Finally, the death of his elder daughter Angelina in 1934 ended the American saga of this family, thirty-two years after their first arrival in New York on 13 May 1902.
