The fall would be perfect for me.........that way it doesn't put a dent in my budget for Italy..........and of course Riccardo.....we will meet in Talamello,
hopefully Carole and Suanj can come to.......I thought to stay in Novafeltria or Rimini.....prefer Rimini as it is right next to the sea with a beautiful view to wake up to each morning......
I have been trying to do this for two years, but "life" always happens........this time, "life" can take a backseat.......it's my turn to do something for me!!
If we could hit one of the festivals or one of the Italian neighborhoods that would be great.........I have never been to New York, so anything we do would be new and exciting to me!!! Come to think of it.......I've never been out East at all.....

Then the trip would be very special to you to Carole......I have family in Rimini, Novafeltria and Talamello.......I have looked at pictures and read everything I can on the history of the area.......I can't wait to get there!!!
Since you have been to Rimini, you can show me all the special places...
and food!!! I want to eat lots of wonderful dishes!!!!
How did you and your Bruno meet in Rimini??

That is the question......where did they marry?????
On ships manifest, they list married.....but Suanj checked, no record for Talamello/Novafeltria........I do know that the Grifoni family was very much against Nonna marrying Nonno......they felt he was beneath her......so I thought perhaps they married here in Illinois, but I have checked all the counties they lived in and no marriage record.....it is very fustrating.......

You shown me the certificates you have that Raffaella provided you and if I remember well there is not annotions on their birth records.
Since there is not annotation, it doesn't mean that they were not married
When you come we go and check even if that guy don't let us do it, I talk with the mayor, it is your right to go and check
We will check in Talamello and in Novafeltria.
bye Riccardo

I am jumping in really late on this. I was away for the weekend. Ellis Island sounds great. I have been there many times, but I live reasonably close. It has a special place in my heart, so I enjoy seeing it again and of course, seeing all of you!

Me again! I don't know the particulars on how to do this, but if you come for Columbus Day in NYC, maybe you can march in the parade under a gentedimare.com banner! I marched with the Paduli Assoc. last year and will do it again this year. It was so much fun. I know Paduli got into the parade on short notice. I am not sure if there is a fee or how you get into it though. I am sure that they have a website.
