MAZZI - ALBANESE

The culmination of a unique but pretty romance took place at Phelps yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, when John Mazzi, of No. 161 Exchange street, was united in marriage to Miss Antoinetta Albanese, a native of Italy, who has been in the country about a week. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father Harrington of Waterloo, who is well versed in the Italian language. The couple was attended by Miss Louise Albanese, a sister of the bride, as bridesmaid, and by Frank Caraberti, a brother-in-law of the groom as best man. Following the ceremony there was a reception at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Mazzi on South Wayne street, Phelps, after which the couple accompanied by a host of their friends, left for this city, where they arrived shortly before six. They repaired to the newly-furnished house, prepared by the groom, at the corner of Middle and Exchange street, where another reception was held, accompanied by a banquet and musicale. The event was a long-looked for one by the neighbors and residents of that section of the city, and nearly 300 persons were congregated about the house last night, listening to the Italian music.

The wedding is the outcome of a most unusual lovemaking affair, inasmuch as neither the bride or groom ever saw each other until at Phelps last Friday, when the bride arrived from Italy. The groom until recently operated a shoe repairing shop on Exchange street and has in his employ Frank Albanese, a fellow countryman. Mazzi had serious intentions regarding several young American girls and upon informing his fellow workman of his feelings one day, Albanese told him about a pretty sister that he had left behind in Italy. She was beautiful, a school teacher, and very popular, and he often wished that she would come to this country to reside. Mazzi listened to him, and for several days it was noticed that he was very quiet and thoughtful. Finally he asked Albanese if he could correspond with his sister and receiving an affirmative reply, the courtship began. Soon pictures were exchanged and finally a proposal was borne across the waters. The maid in the land of sunshine demurred, but was informed in a letter by her brother that Mazzi was sincere and she accepted. Mazzi closed up his shoe shop, rented a house, furnished it complete, obtained a position at the Herendeen Manufacturing plant, and has been working there for the past two months, making preparations for the wedding.

From Geneva Daily Times 23 July 1904

As a sequel to a series of interesting events related to the marriage of John Mazzi of this city, and Miss Antoinetta Albanese, a native of Italy, after having seen each other but once, comes the announcement this morning that Mrs. Mazzi has left her husband; that he is still on the hunt for her and threatens to kill her on sight. Such is the state of affairs with which residents of Exchange, State and Middle streets became acquainted with this morning when Mrs. Mazzi was seen to leave the house, at the corner of Exchange and Middle streets, bag and baggage, while her husband was away from home. She went to live with an Italian family by the name of Mongoose, who reside on State avenue. Her husband returned this afternoon from his work and finding the house empty, informed several Italians in the neighborhood that he was going to kill the woman, but would wait until night so that he could do the job and make his escape. The police have been notified. According to Joseph Sanzone and Alex Onorator, two Italians who conduct stores on Exchange street near the Mazzi residence, the woman who cannot speak a word of English, abhors her husband and has done so from the date of the marriage, which was solemnized at Phelps, June 29. She refused to sleep in the same room with him and yesterday afternoon announced her intention of leaving his house. Mazzi, who was seated at a table eating, became crazed, and went into a fit upon hearing this and it required the services of a physician to bring him out of it. He has been acting strangely since last night and his friends are afraid that he will carry out his threat to kill his wife. The woman is quite pretty and she has attracted the attention of the young Italian dandies in the neighborhood with whom she has been quite friendly, it is said. Friends of both husband and wife say that she was satisfied with Mazzi until she saw other prosperous Italians about the city who pleased her better.

From Geneva Daily Times 25 July 1904

The trouble existing in the Mazzi family on Exchange street, has been settled, temporarily, at least the bride and groom are again living together. Saturday afternoon Mr. Mazzi sought the aid of a policeman to get his wife back for him, but the peace guardian did not see his way clear to perform any such delicate operations. Finally, however, the policeman went to the Mazzi residence to make further inquiries into the affair, and was met at the door by the husband who was laughing, clapping his hands, and dancing about like a madman. His joy, for such it was, was caused by the appearance of his wife at the house, and by her promise to try try and love him and never run away again. She said as much in words, through her husband as interpreter, to the officer and she apparently was very happy. Mazzi now threatens to bring civil action against his brother and other friends for alienation of his wife's affections.
