I have been doing research on my Calabrian families side.

Just by looking at them I can imagine the many souls who passed through. Ciao!

I remember a 200 lire coin would get me one back then... not today, just noticed that the Euro is at $1.60. Damn the dollar!:)<br/><br/>Homebody, we play in the back-yard when we get together for holidays or get togethers... not on a true bocce court though.<br/><br/>Robin, it's just so sad to see the town shrink... My cousin's 2 kids (teens now) are the only young people who live there. The school was closed years ago, so they travel to another town for school.<br/><br/>Thanks Maryann!<br/><br/>We are never full: Thanks for stopping by, I just visited your blog and got really hungry:) plus since your latest post is on my favorite Italian city.... well, you had me at hello;) Thanks Sally!
