Description
Title supplied by cataloger.; Image is a reproduction. A family in front of their home on an olive farm. The farm was started about 1890 and was located at the site of Sunset Boulevard and the Hollywood Freeway. At the time, the street was named for the family; Bagnoli Avenue ran between Sunset and Carlton. By 1906 the family had returned to Firenze, Italy. The death of two sons in an accident made it impossible to maintain the farm.
