Anna Capasso Hall, age 92, of Austell, Georgia passed away Thursday, December 24, 2020. She was born in Naples, Italy on September 12, 1928 to the late Vincenzo Capasso and the late Fortuna Mattera Capasso. Anna was a retired seamstress with Saul Brothers Clothing. She was a member of St. John Vianney Catholic Church.
Anna was born in 1928 on her parent’s farm in Fiori Grotta Naples Italy. This is a small town on the backside of the mountain that forms the bay of Naples. The farm was part flatland, and part mountain with a grape vineyard on the side. Anna was the first born and so was responsible for looking after her younger brothers and sisters, Umberto, Tina and Antonio. With no electricity, she cooked on a wood fire and did laundry in a large pot in the yard. These skills she learned from her mother Fortuna. She loved their farm and was proud of how progressive operation it was. Her father never built things in a poor- quality manner. The barn had slate floors and a drainage system that fertilized the vegetable fields through irrigation channels from a cistern on the side of the mountain. The road the house was lined with hazelnut and citrus trees. There was a brick oven in the outdoor kitchen where Fortuna baked bread for sale. A high wall marked the boundaries of the farm and their house was stone with tile floors and a staircase on the font that went in two directions left and right winding down to the ground floor. Anna took care of the house and her mother the outdoor kitchen and her father Vincenzo the vineyard and animals.
Anna had a black horse which she was very fond of and loved to ride. On Sundays he pulled the buggy to the local chapel which was on the farm and the priest would come to say mass. The Altar service set was a family heirloom and there was a painted icon crucifix.
Anna attended convent school where she enjoyed lessons on writing, mathematics, and learned fine embroidery skills from the nuns. Her best friend at school was also named Anna who she maintained a lifelong friendship.
In the mid 1930s the fascist leader Mussolini came to Naples to speak. She remembered attending the political rally with her father who held her on his shoulders so she could see over the crowd. War came to her farm when the Italian government took the farm to make it a military base. They liked the caves where the wine and meats were stored so that they could keep munitions there. The war years were very hard for them after being evicted from the farm. They lived in a small two room apartment that overlooked the farm across the street. Food shortages were common, and they were often hungry, especially in the last year. Anna told stories of how her mother would cook soup from almost nothing, herbs scrounged from the yard, empty oyster shells, onion peels. So, I remember this and think of Fortuna when I am cooking and try not to waste the vegetables when I peel them in memory of her sacrifices to feed her family in the war.
There were scary times for Anna, especially after the Germans invaded. They took the military base that was their farm. A German soldier shot at her feet once and she dropped the milk she was carrying to the store for sale and they laughed at her and she ran as fast as she could. When there was an air raid, they had to go down 3 flights of stairs to the basement in the dark and hide. On one occasion the Germans kicked open the door to the basement and sprayed the room with gunfire. Her aunt was shot in the arm and though she healed she could never use it again. They left after they realized there was only women and children in the basement.
In the last months of the war there were many bombings near where she lived because of the nearby military base and the railroad. One bomb landed near Anna on the road and but did not explode. The force of the air knocked her down and knocked the wind from her lungs. The American soldiers were coming they had learned from the radio, and the Germans left the city. As they left, they bombed the railroad and bridge near the base which was her family farm. Then the American Navy began several days of shelling from the warships in the ocean. The shells fell day and night, and since the base was empty, Anna and her family and neighbors, most of whom were also family, were now staying in the caves and sleeping there too. Finally, the shelling stopped. They were frightened, dirty, and hungry, but too scared to leave the caves. The American soldiers had landed in Sorento on the other side of the bay of Naples. They soon came to the base that was the family farm and took it over. A soldier came into the cave finding the people there and waved his flashlight back and forth and called “Let’s Go!”. They all came out and were given food and medical care. The soldier was Joe Hall and would one day marry Anna. This was the first time they met.
Things got better for Anna’s family after that. They had all survived the war. The Americans bought vegetables from her Father Vincenzo who had started a garden at the back of the apartment building. He dealt with the Sargent who bought food for the officer’s mess and all manner of supplies needed by the camp. Again, this was Joe Hall. Vincenzo brought Joe home for a spaghetti dinner and that is when he met Anna for the second time. Joe would come often and bring meats and canned goods. He took Anna for rides in his jeep with her Aunts as chaperons. Joe became a Catholic so he could marry Anna, and they were married at St Anthony church in Naples. After a year, Joe had to leave for the United States, and he went on a ship to New York. Anna traveled later onboard another ship with other young brides. They lived in Atlanta in the Hall family home then bought a house of their own in 1951. They had 3 children who went to the local Catholic school and who heard many stories of the war from their father Joe and their mother Anna. Anna became a citizen, went to night school and learned to speak and write English very well. She went to work at Faun Togs, a baby clothing company in Atlanta. Her job was to embroider the collars, bibs and sleeves with cute baby animals. The skill that she had learned from the nuns served her well. She learned to sew on the machines while there and to cut the patterns. Over time she became a very good seamstress, called a “sample maker”, meaning she made the special sample outfits for the designer. She went on to work at a women’s sportswear company Saul Brothers on Spring Street. Then eventually had her own business.
Anna was very generous and had many friends. Her neighbors loved her, and her skills in gardening impressed everyone. She taught us how to cook, garden, and sew. She loved her house and had tile installed like she remembered from her childhood home in Italy. She loved mirrors and Italian style furniture. Holidays were family feasts with dishes from Italy and a house full of friends and family.
Anna taught us to study because knowledge was power. She was a proud American and loved the flag and understood its message of freedom and sacrifice having come from the oppression of war and knew the loss that some of our neighbors had suffered. Her faith always carried her through uncertain times and happy times. She was never without a rosary to comfort her.
Anna is survived by her children: George Hall and his wife, Christine, Linda Gissy, Gina Strickland and her husband, Mike; grandchildren: Donnie Hall, Lauren Hall, Adrienne Gissy, Melissa Witherspoon and her husband, Derk, Matthew Gissy and his wife, Kristen, Julie Nunnaly and her husband, Corey, Christopher Strickland; great grandchildren: Hailey Beckworth, Tyler Beckworth, Caroline Ransbothom, Jake Witherspoon; 1 great-great grandchild, Roman Beckworth; sister: Tina Caruso and her husband, Pasquale.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Joe Duncan Hall; son-in-law: Thomas Gissy.
