Early life
Cervi was born on March 11, 1860, in Picinisco to Lorenzo Cervi and Angela Magiotta.[1] Cervi ended up in Ireland by mistake. He accidentally got off a boat that was headed to America at the final stop at Queenstown now called Cobh.[2]
Career
When Cervi reached Dublin he began work as a labourer until he could afford to buy a coal-fired cooker which he used to sell chips outside of various pubs.[3] Cervi opened the first chipper in Ireland at 22 Great Brunswick Street now the location of the Dublin Fire Brigade headquarters. The chipper was named simply Giuseppe Cervi[4]
Cervi passed away on January 3, 1927, at the age of 67. He was interred into Glasnevin Cemetery.[5]
