BIOGRAPHY

Sérgio was the son of Italian immigrants Giuseppe Frusoni and Erminia Bonucci . At the age of 24, he began to work at the '' Western Telegraph Company '' and changed later on to '' Italcable ''. In 1947, he managed the '' O Café Sport '' in Mindelo , the main city of São Vicente , where he presented poems and anecdotes in Crioulo. After that he went back to work for Italcable. In the 1960s, he conducted the theatre group '' Theatro Do Castilho '' in Mindelo. For a number of years, he was chronicler at the radio '' Barlavento '', where he produced the program '' Mosaico Mindelense '' in Crioulo.

Sérgio wrote many Short Stories and Poems in the Creole Of São Vicente (''Criol d' Soncente''). He is quite well known in Cape Verde; unfortunately, he is almost unknown outside the island.
