"The Albisetti family emigrated from Northern Italy in the late 19th century. ... . John Battista Albisetti, sometimes known simply as “Battista Albisetti,” worked in the granite industry, initially as a carver for Harrison Granite Company, and then as salesman for Wells-Lamson and Jones Brothers Companies.
The Albisettis’ son, Charles Albisetti, was born on June 25, 1904. He attended grade school in Barre, Vermont, and graduated from Spaulding High School in 1924. Charles Albisetti also received training as an auto-electrician through the correspondence course with the Chicago Engineering Works Review. On June 30, 1934, Charles Albisetti married Irene May Davis. During the Second World War the couple moved to Maine and volunteered for the United States Civil Service, working within Maine’s Public Housing Authority. After returning to Barre, Vt., Charles Albisetti founded Albisetti City Electric Company and managed the business. He also served as chair of the Kiwanis Club of Barre, Vt., and facilitated events and support programs for the town’s underprivileged children through committee work. Charles Albisetti and Irene Albisetti also travelled to Italy in the mid-1950s. They established the Irene M. Davis Albisetti and Charles S. Albisetti Scholarship Fund in Health Sciences and Technology at Harvard University in 1988. Charles Albisetti passed away on August 23, 1998."Dimensions
