Publisher's Synopsis
2014 marked the 100th year of operation at Marelli's Market. The store, opened in 1914 by Italian immigrants Luigi and Celestina Marelli, has been recognized by the New Hampshire State Historical Register as the oldest continuously-run business in Hampton, New Hampshire. With love and appreciation for their heritage, granddaughters Karen Raynes and Marcia Hannon-Buber tell the heart-warming story of Luigi Marelli and Celestina Reggio in Italy, coming to America, and the growth of their family and business in Hampton. With other family members, they share some of their fondest memories of growing up at Marelli's Market. Updated for 2015. "Karen Raynes and Marcia Hannon-Buber epitomize what community service is all about. They have written a book from the heart that is a true gift to Hampton." - Betty Moore, Tuck Museum Director.
