Talk:Rosario Candela

Research Notes
American Family Immigration History Center (Ellis Island Archives) preserved in their holdings two ship manifests listing Rosario Candela, Giuseppa Piszurro (Rosario’s Mother), Concetta Candela (Rosario’s sister) and Francesco Candela (Rosario’s brother). The ship manifest from the S.S. Sicilian Prince also listed Michele Candela, age 15 (Rosario’s brother). Both manifests also noted they were to join their father Michele Candela in New York. The two manifests were from: (1) S.S. Napolitan Prince sailing from Palermo on November 12, 1906 and arriving in Port of New York on November 27, 1906 and (2) S.S. Sicilian Prince sailing from Palermo on October 22, 1906 and arriving in Port of New York on November 08, 1906. American Family Immigration History Center (Ellis Island Archives) posted these manifests online at www.ellisisland.org. Determining which ship Rosario actually traveled on required further research, but it was likely that his family cancelled passage on the earlier ship.

Attribution
Many of the buidings attributed to Candela were designed by others. For example, the architect of 720 Park Avenue was Cross & Cross, with the interiors designed by Candela. At 960 Fifth Avenue, Warren & Wetmore designed the building and Candela designed the interiors. Perhaps someone can clarify in the article what Candela was actually responsible for.Buckyboot (talk) 16:48, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

AfD, ROTFLMAO!
When I saw this article listed under the category "People from Montelepre," I rolled my eyes, thinking "Time for another AfD!" I'd never heard of this architect, but I did know about one of the last of Salvatore Giuliano's bandits, killed in gun battle with the Carabiniere. Unfortunately, the only picture I've seen (of his death) is in Billy Jaynes Chandler's Giuliano bio, "King of the Mountain." There's nothing in Google Italy images for "Rosario Candela, bandito," even though Chandler's inclusion is a Scafidi foto. If Candela the bandit had been the subject of the article = AfD.

Public Housing Designed by Candela
In addition to the luxury apartment buildings that Candela was known for, he also designed at least one public housing development for the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) in the years after WWII. I've seen his name and stamp on a set of original construction documents from the NYCHA archives. I don't recall which development, but if I come across those drawings again, I will update the information. Ornsteij (talk) 13:17, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

The word duplex
The word duplex applied to residences has different meanings in the United States and Britain. In the United States it is a building with two units in Britain it is residence with two stories. The article uses the word duplex in the British sense and results in initial confusion for people from where Candela practiced. RichardBond (talk) 16:32, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
