Dr. Donato Sansone and Nicola Zaza outdoors
Black and white photograph of Dr. Donato Sansone (left) and Nicola Zaza (right) standing at the foot of a dirt driveway. A two storey house is visible in the background.
Both men were interned at Camp Petawawa during World War II, however Sansone was also interned at Camp Fredericton. While little is known about Dr. Sansone, both men seem to have run in the same circles. After his arrest, Zaza admitted to being a member of the fascio up until 1938. He left the organization because he had little time for it. He was also a member of the dopolavoro, the Italian War Veterans, and the Order Sons of Italy.
