Aniello Tiberi

Aniello Tiberi, of Medford, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, July 5, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. He was 90 years old.

Born in Pettorano Sul Gizio, Italy, Aniello was the beloved son of the late Ernesto Tiberi and Maria (Federico) Tiberi. He immigrated to the United States in the early 1970s, settling in Boston’s North End, where he built a life through hard work, determination, and unwavering devotion to his family. He was a proud member of Local 22 of the Laborers’ International Union.

Aniello was the beloved husband of 63 years to Francesca (DelMonaco) Tiberi. He was the devoted father of Maria Tiberi and her partner, Greg Foley, and Mirella Tiberi Federico and her husband, Domenic. He was the proud and loving grandfather of Steve Nelson and his wife, Emma, Jay Nelson, and Nicholas Federico, and the cherished grandfather of the late Jon Gabriel Nelson.

He was the dear brother of Eva Tiberi Restaino and the late Pasquale Tiberi. He is also lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends in Italy, Canada, and the United States.

Aniello will be remembered for his unwavering love of family, his strong work ethic, his quiet strength, and the kindness he showed to everyone he met. He took great pride in tending his beautiful vegetable garden and the many fruit trees he lovingly cared for over the years. He also enjoyed the tradition of making his own homemade wine, which he proudly shared with family and friends. His gardens, his wine, and the meals shared around his table reflected the love, generosity, and pride he took in caring for those he loved. His legacy of love, sacrifice, and devotion to his family will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

In accordance with his wishes, funeral services will be held in Italy. A Memorial Mass celebrating Aniello’s life will be held later this summer at St. Patrick Church in Stoneham. Details will be announced at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the Tiberi family kindly requests that donations be made in memory of Aniello Tiberi to support cancer research and patient care at Massachusetts General Hospital. Your generosity will help advance lifesaving research and provide compassionate care to patients and families facing cancer.

Memorial donations may be made to the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center.
