Portrait of Nazzareno Alfonso Sguigna, brother of internee Luigi Sguigna
This is a black and white portrait of Nazzareno Alfonso Sguigna, brother of internee Luigi Sguigna.
Nazzareno is shown from the waist up. He is wearing a pin-striped suit with a white shirt and a checkered black and white tie. He is staring straight at the camera; his face is expressionless. His wavy hair is brushed back.
Nazzareno was arrested during World War II and detained at a local jail. According to his niece, his wife collected his World War I medals and brought them to the jail, stating his innocence and allegiance to Great Britain. Due to his wife's persistence, Nazzareno was released; however, Nazzareno's brother Luigi Sguigna was not so lucky. Luigi was interned for two years at Camps Petawawa and Fredericton.
