LHM 2017.001.179 They had two daughters, Helen and Dora. The family moved to Louisville in 1906. Angelina's Biella relatives and Celeste's Romano relatives also settled in Louisville. Angelina's siblings included Sandy Biella, who operated the Rex Theatre at 817 Main from 1927 to 1945, and Joe Biella, who had a grocery store at 927 Main. (Angelina and Celeste Romano made their home at 1040 La Farge Ave., which owned by members of the Romano family from 1915 until 1986.) The 1910 census shows Celeste Romano to be working as a saloon keeper, but the exact location of his saloon is not known because he didn't own the building. It is likely that his saloon was one of about a dozen located on Front Street at that time.

(However, according to the Oct. 13, 1920 Denver Post, Celeste was arrested for selling whiskey to federal agents and was fined $200, which is about $2,500 in today's money.) Even in recent years, people who grew up in Louisville between the 1920s and the 1960s have spoken fondly of Celeste's establishment as the main place to go to get ice cream in town for decades. These memories are typically stated with great nostalgia and fondness. The Feb. 2, 1981 Louisville Times referred to him as "the ice cream man for young and old." (It seems that 5
