Italia Mosca (née Fagiani)

1924 - 2021

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our immensely-adored mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Italia Fagiani Mosca on Thursday, August 19, 2021, in Montreal, Quebec at the age of 97. She was born in the Umbrian hills of Gubbio, Perugia Italy, daughter of the late Firminio Fagiani and the late Maria. Predeceased by her beloved spouse, Tersilio Mosca, her first grandson, Marco, sisters Giudita, Emilia, Ermelinda. She leaves to mourn her loving children Luciana (Attilio), Lea (Federico), Marida (Willy), Frank (Laura). Treasured Nonna to Nadia (Mike), Dalia, Sabina (Jim) Gianni (Sheila), Adrian, Stefanie, Erika (Ivan), and her great grandchildren, Charles, Samuel, Kessya, Kayla, Alex. Survived by her loving siblings Gina and Guglielmo, many relatives in Canada, Italy and the USA.

Our mother was the epitome of pureness and authenticity. Our father was right when he had told us that there was “no one, nowhere, the world over that exists like your mother.” She was fiercely devoted to her family, even-keeled, exuded calmness - yet stoic, espousing high moral values, was extremely insightful, wise, humble, honorable and empathetic.

She, like our father “stood for justice, respect and truth; worked relentlessly, lived modestly and loved passionately.” Grazie Mammina, tutto quello che avete fatto per noi e per tanti altri. We will carry our mother and father in our hearts until our last breath.

Heartfelt thanks to Lina and the CHSLD Dante staff (too many to name) who were invaluable in the care and life of our mother. Quite a few on staff were ultra-extraordinary - you know who you are - we will never forget you.
