GUIDO A. BERTOLUCCI
GUIDO A. BERTOLUCCI--A highly respected representative of important commercial affairs, whose wide and varied experience enables him to serve his fellow-citizens with signal ability is Guido A. Bertolucci, who was born in Italy, on May 22, 1890, the son of A. P. and Policama Bertolucci. In 1895 his parents came to Sacramento, where his father, a well-known cement worker, is now residing. Mrs. Bertolucci died in December, 1921.
Guido A. Bertolucci was educated in the public schools of San Francisco and Sacramento. He learned the cement business with his father, and when he was sixteen years of age started out for himself. He has built some of the largest garages and wineries in California, and has also paved a great many streets in Sacramento. On the average, he employs about eight men and does a general concrete construction work.
He joined the United States Army in April, 1918, trained at Camp Lewis for six weeks and then was sent to Fort Riley, Kansas, where he was promoted to the rank of sergeant. June 12, 1918, he left for France and upon his arrival went to Paris, where he was made a member of the Third Unit of the Mobile Hospital Corps, organized there. His command was sent to the front and he served at Chateau Thierry, Meuse-Argonne, St. Mihiel and at Toule, four of the most active fronts during the war. He was practically under fire the entire time of his service and at the signing of the armistice he was returned to the United States and received his discharge at the Presidio at San Francisco, July 18, 1919.
On December 23, 1921, he married Miss Leona Hardt, of Los Angeles. Mr. Bertolucci is a director of the Builder's Exchange, a member and treasurer of Lodge No. 1020 of the Moose and a trustee of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He is a very enthusiastic baseball fan and is very fond of deer hunting. Politically he supports the best man and measures, regardless of party lines. He has always taken intelligent interest in the public matters of his community, and is highly respected among his many acquaintances. He bought property in the Dreher tract and built a modern bungalow at 1605 Dreher Avenue, where he resides and intends to build several more residences on lots adjoining his home.
