Basile was born Giulia Giudita (Julia Judith in English) Bernacchi on Jan. 26, 1880, in the village of Serino in the southern Italian province of Avellino (Campania Region), the daughter of Pietro and Palma (DeFeo) Bernacchi. Her mother died and her father, a carabinieri (Italian National Police), was forced to send her to a convent to be educated, as he traveled frequently due to his profession.
