Hi! I’m trying to figure out what the last part of this caption says. The first part says “Pa Genese” I think, but I’m not sure what the last word is. Thanks!

It looks like Light, but would that make any sense?

Hmm maybe it means the man in the light shirt?

I think the word after Pa starts with a T - I was taught to write it in a very similar style in the 50s.

What country would this be from?
I'm asking because the first thing to come to mind was Genesee, Pa as opposed to Pa meaning father.

I think it’s potentially my 2nd great-grandfather. He was born in Italy and moved to the U.S. I know the last name was Genese (or Geneso) and his name would have been Antonio

Do you think he is the one on the right, or the one in the light shirt?

Based on other photos, I’m pretty sure he’s the man in the white shirt on the left

Although that dot makes one think there is an i, as in light, I'm seeing a lot of surname Leght's in what might be the same area as Antonio Genese.
