Giovanni Muccio

Giovanni Muccio, age 76, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 25, 2025. Giovanni was born on July 14, 1948 in Valle Agricola, Caserta in the Italian region of Campania. After graduating high school, he came to love carpentry, especially enjoying the precision required of finish work. In 1969 he followed his family to the United States and settled in Johnston, RI. Very shortly after he met the love of his life, Antonia, thanks to her friendship with his sister, Filomena. They married in 1973; and after raising three boys, they were rewarded with three tremendous granddaughters. Giovanni adored his three girls: Victoria, Elizabeth, and Leah. Although stoic and demanding of his sons, he catered to every whim of his granddaughters. A great cook, he loved to whip up any dish they wished, from primavera to scampi to carbonara, often with homemade fettuccine. Giovanni was passionate about winemaking. He tended to each step in the process patiently and meticulously, and he relished the opportunity to share a glass — or jug — with family and friends. He made many "celebration" batches throughout the years to commemorate special events. His faith was an integral part of his identity, and he was a long-time member of the St. Joseph's Church community. Giovanni was also a fourth degree member of the Knights of Columbus, a great honor for him. Giovanni is predeceased by his parents, Giuseppe Carmine and Anna (Rega) Muccio, and his sister Maria Rosa. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Antonia (Cardillo), and their sons Joseph and his wife Allison Baker, David and Danielle Crugnale, and John. He is also survived by his granddaughters Victoria, Elizabeth, and Leah, his sister Filomena and her husband Antonio Muccio, his brother Ernesto, his brother-in-law Michael Cardillo, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. His funeral will be held Monday June 2nd at 9:00 a.m. from the Winfield & Sons Funeral Home and Crematory, 571 West Greenville Road, Scituate followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 a.m. at St. Joseph Church, Danielson Pike, Scituate. Burial will be in St. Ann Cemetery. Calling hours will be held Sunday June 1st from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.. In lieu of flowers donations in his memory may be made to Feeney Council Knights of Columbus c/o St. Joseph Church, P.O. Box 236, North Scituate, RI 02857.
