Salvatore Macinante (1848-1914) was a schoolteacher in Salerno, south of Naples, before arriving in Australia in 1912. Salvatore's wife, Anastasia, nee Balbo, and the remaining family followed later. His four eldest sons, Giuseppe, Amelio, Antonio and Candido, left Italy for Scotland around 1903 and migrated to Australia in 1908. Antonino, a younger son, arrived in Sydney in 1909. As a reservist he was repatriated to serve in the Italian Army during World War I. Discharged in 1919, he married Carmela Grimaldi and returned to Australia in the following year. He became a grocer and shopkeeper in Sydney.
