About Antonio Cortesi

Antonio came to New Zealand in late 1891 presumably with his brother, Silvio and sister, Anna Emilia along with her husband Stefano Gada. Whether they travelled together or one followed the other is not known at this time. They may have heard of the gum digging opportunities in New Zealand and decided to give it a try. Antonio was about 22 years old when he arrived and Anna Emilia was pregnant with her oldest child.
