Cesare was a wanderer who probably should have never married. He traveled to Alaska and regretted that he never made it to Peru. He left his family in Austria and traveled to America looking for a new adventure and life. When he went back to Austria for his family, he didn't even recognize his own children. His family followed him to Wyoming and settled in Superior, Wyoming, a coal mining town. He was married to Maria Franch, whose family didn't think he was quite "good" enough for her. He died at the age of fifty.
