Fifty years ago, this was the use, christening the child in the hospital where he/she had been delivered, right after the birth, with mother still lying on a bed...
Left to right: my mother's dad and mom, my father's sister, the aunt and uncle who served as godparents and, back to the camera, Father Eugenio, the priest administering the christening.
And yes, that little thing at his very beginning was me!
