Project Description
July, 2014
Our adventure started when my mom wanted to go back to Italy and visit one more time the village of Orsogna where my grandparents were born.
An acquaitance recommended Mirella to help get the records I needed. Mirella emailed me but it was not received by me until I reach Italy. Once in Orsogna I saw her email. Called her and within minutes of no notice she had us at the town of records where I did get to see and take pictures of me grandparents birth and marriage certificate.
She also found Mr.Vittorio who knew my family and where the streets were that my grandmother and father lived.
So our new connection along with Mirella took us to the place of my grandmothers and grandfathers houses they lived. Because of the war one building was rebuilt another not.
Thanks to Mirella and Southern Italy Travel who made not only mine but my mothers dreams come true. I would recommend Mirella hands down. She dropped everything and moved appointments just to be there for us on a moments notice.
She was professional,personable, caring,understanding and most of all knowledgable.
I you are planning a trip to Italy I would recommend emailing her with all the things you want to see and get and she will have this all planned out for you. She is a true lover of her country and you will know it the minute you meet her. I’ll be forever grateful to her for making our dream come true..
