Dominico Morello was one of the forty-one founding members of the Kelowna Canadian Italian Club in 1966.  At the time, Dominico was a shoemaker and Livia was a sales clerk.  They lived at 1295 Glenmore Street, Kelowna, BC, across from the St Pius  X Church. They had one daughter, Piera Francesca, who married Gary Patrick Greaves.  Piera and Gary spent most of their years in Drumheller, Alberta.  Livia was sister to Gina Fabbro.
