Beatriz Scarpetti weds Francisco de Almeida 1959

1959 was a momentous year for the Darin family. When Marco Giovanni Battista Da Rin Zoldan aka João Baptista Darin, 87 years old, died of natural causes on 28 August 1959, her grand-daughter Beatriz Scarpetti who had aldready set her wedding date for 17 December 1959 thought she would have to cancel it. But the 'aunties' - her mother Angela Darin's sisters wouldn't hear of it and told Bia to go ahead with her plans so the wedding date was confirmed even though most of the female members of the Darin family were still wearing Black as mourning for the Patriarch. So here are some photos of Bia's wedding Chico on a Wednesday afternoon at Santo Antonio's church. 
Beatriz Scarpetti enters Santo Antonio's main isle with her brother Alecio Scarpetti being led by a very circumspect Herminia Maria Batista as the flower-girl.
Alecio gives his sister Beatriz away to her future husband Francisco de Almeida.
the newly-weds leave the altar towards the church front-door... Herminia keeps her face unmoved all the time...
Beatriz & Chiquinho; Herminia's ordeal is almost at an end...
Beatriz & Chico already man & wife; Alecio Scarpetti & his wife Maria Puerta on the right.

look who's all alone by the table with the wedding cake - on the right-hand-side... yes, Herminia, the flower-girl.
here's Beatriz in an earlier photo with her future flower-girl, Herminia Maria Batista.

some comments by FB users about Francisco de Almeida;

Corbi Bragas writes on 24 November 2016: casamento do Chiquinho de Almeida da Farmácia da rua Coronel Galdino de Almeida (sem parentesco), antiga rua Barão de Bananal; ficava próxima à Retificadora Marília. O Chiquinho costurou minha cabeça rachada, rs.

Nelson Fukai writes: Tomei muita injeção na Farmácia do Chiquinho. Um morenão forte era o responsável pelas aplicações e era xingado muito pela criançada. A farmácia era vizinha do Bar do Barbosa, onde chorões se reuniam no final da tarde para se divertirem tocando Pixinguinha, Waldyr de Azevedo, Jacob do Bandolim, entre outros. Mas o 'Brabo', do ferro-velho que tinha do outro lado da rua, não era muito a fim. Afinal, o sobrinho era um dos membros dos Sentimental Boys.
Regina Aparecida Perpétuo writes: Nelson Fukai brindando-nos sua excelente memória. Ai vai foto dos Sentimental Boys. O Brabo é o que toca acordeon. Não sei se é o Nilson ou Nivaldo. E a preferencia do morador da frente era sertaneja.

Nelson Fukai: o Brabo da orquestra, acho, que morava na rua 24 de Dezembro entre a Cel. Galdino e a Avenida Rio Branco.

Photo taken in front of the house Bia shared with husband Chico on Rua Bom Fim next to Rua Coronel Galdino de Almeida; circa 1966.

Maria Lucia G. Sinhorini writes on FB: Chico had many siblings: Cida, Kalu, Luiz (casou com Sueli) e Mario Roberto (Sansão). My mother was Chico's mother's sister, tia Maria. 

My Mother married twice; my father Gonçalves was her 1st husband; then she became a widow and married again and had Fernando Euflasino, who died of a motorcycle accident when he was only 21 years old in 1983.
