I live in Morecambe in the UK.My grandfather Luigi Prada and his brothers Licio and Martino came to the UK from Cadorago near Como in Italy around 1930/35. I would be interested if anyone could provide me with my family history before my granfather.

Hello,
My name is Brigda Gallo. I know your relatives because I worked for Mr Prada and his wife for 5 years (starting 1953) as a domestic in London. They owned a restaurant on Euston road called “Casa Prada”.
I know all of the history of the Prada family, including Mr Giacomo Prada and his son Licio. Licio was even my boyfriend for a few years. Giacomo also had another son who was in the RAF and died at war.

I can tell you a lot more. Perhaps if you would like to know more I could write to you. They were a wonderful family, you should be proud of them.

I read your recent message regarding the Prada family history and wanted to reply. My cousin entered the original post you replied to but I don't think he uses this site any more. I have asked within the family if anyone remembers you but my parents who were the niece of Giacomo and nephew of Annetta do not recall you. My Dad is Mario Ottonello who worked at Casa Prada with Uncle Jack and Mum is Yolanda (previously Prada)her dad was Jack's brother Luigi. Licio moved to Morecambe in the 60s and died at the beginning of 1977 after marrying again and having two children. We would be very interested to hear any family history you may have. Perhaps my parents would know you by an shortened name as I am sure you must have met them at some point as they were both living and working in London up to the end of 1956.
