JUBILEES : EX-RANCHERS HITCHED 60 YEARS.The 60th wedding anniversary of Mario Mario (mär`yō), 1810–83, stage name of Giovanni Matteo, Cavaliere di Candia, Italian tenor. An officer of the Piedmontese guard, he went to Paris in 1836 and studied at the Paris Conservatory, making his debut (1838) at the Paris Opera in Robert le Diable. He sang with great success in Paris, London, and St. and Emma Prevedello of Lancaster was celebrated with the renewal of their vows at the Sacred Heart Church in Lancaster with Monsignor Tim O'Connell officiating. It was followed with a family luncheon at the Desert Inn in Lancaster. Mario, born in Germany of Italian parents, spent his childhood in Italy, emigrating to the United States at 15. He settled in Santa Barbara, where he worked as a gardener, rancher and part-owner in a dairy, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1937. Emma was born in Tuba tuba /tu·ba/ (too´bah) pl. tu´bae [L.] tube., Texas, spending her childhood in Italy before returning to the United States at 19. The two met while Emma was working in a Santa Barbara bakery. They were married in the Little Guadalupe Church in Santa Barbara and after working and saving for 14 years, they invested their nest egg Nest Egg A special sum of money saved or invested for one specific future purpose.Notes: Examples of the purposes for which nest eggs are usually intended include retirement, education, and even entertainment (vacations and cruises). The main idea is that the money in the nest egg shouldn't be touched except for the purpose for which you saved it.

Twice the couple nearly lost the ranch because of bad weather and the Tehachapi earthquake, but working hard together, being patient and combining love, effort and determination, they made their ranching career a success. In 1964 they sold the ranch. Mario retired for two years and then began a career selling Antelope Valley real estate until 1985 when he retired at 73. The Prevedellos have two daughters - Rosalin Magliano of Newhall and Corina Paradiso of Valencia - four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
