Lent by Salvatore Bisignano
Salvatore Bisignano learned the art of basket making from his father,
Giuseppe Bisignano, who came to Canada late in life, in 1961. His father
decided to make baskets the way they were made in Italy and sell them
in Thunder Bay. He quickly became known as the "basket man". Since his
retirement, Salvatore has carried on the tradition. |
