Julia was born in Mugnano del Cardinale, Avellino, Italy on 1 Mar 1901. She told me that she made herself a year older in order to work. She had a sister, also named Giuditta, who was born and died in Mugnano. This sister was born on 14 Mar 1899. She used this as her birthday date. Her celebrated birthday in America was 14 Mar 1900, which was a made-up date. She also had her named legally changed to Julia since people had a hard time saying her given name, Giuditta, which is Judith in Italian.
