Photograph of Massimo Iacopo Magi and his brother, 1939
Black and white photograph of Massimo Iacopo Magi and his brother standing outdoors in what appears to be a backyard garden in the summer of 1939.
Massimo Iacopo Magi was born in 1884 in Limano, Bagni di Lucca, Italy. He immigrated to Canada and settled in Toronto where he was the co-owner of the Florentine Lighting Company. On June 10, 1940, Magi was arrested while at work. According to the RCMP, his arrest was due to his affiliation with the Fascio Principe Umberto, where he was the Secretary, and for overseeing the Toronto dopolavoro (after work) group. A number of his employees, including Ruggero Bacci were arrested along with him.
