Stocky, wavy haired, he was born to a poor farmer. When his sister had her first communion, the family was too poor to buy her new shoes so he made a pair of white shoes for her. He first apprenticed himself to a cobbler when he was nine. By the time he was 14 he had his own shop with six assistants.

He left Italy that year to travel to American, to Boston, Massachusetts to work with a brother in a shoe factory.
