We have lost a major part of our feast… Tony Cappola..an East Harlem Giglio legendary Capo Paranza has passed away at 95 yrs of age..Tony was truely a Giglio pillar since the 1940s building and designing the Giglio having learned the craft directly from the Bruscianese when they brought Giglio di San Antonio from Brusciano Italy. In addition wrote the music…still played to this day at area Giglio Feasts….. and as a Capo Paranza commanded countless Giglio lifts. For well over 2 generations Tony mentored many members and was always available for his good counsel. Tony Cappola will surely be missed by the Giglio community. Uncle Tony we will never forget you…Rest In Peace
