Oral History of Antonia Cipollina |
Collection |
Oral History |
Scope & Content |
Born to residents of Mill Valley in 1952, Antonia Cipollina grew up in Mill Valley and experienced life as a member of a well-known musical family. Her mother was a concert pianist, and her brothers John and Mario Cipollina were famous rock and roll musicians from their youths. A musician herself, Antonia began teaching piano at the age of 16, and was still teaching students in Mill Valley at the time of this interview. In her oral history, Antonia describes growing up in an Italian family, attending Tamalpais High and Marin Catholic, and going with her parents Evelyn and Gino (a beloved local realtor) to watch her brothers play in rock shows. Antonia recounts the lively family home of her youth, a home where musicians and friends of hers and her brothers frequently spent time. She paints a vivid picture of life in Mill Valley in the 1950s and 1960s, a slower time when you could ride your horse downtown and park it right at the meters. |
