Project Description
June 2019
When I saw Southern Italy Travel’s website I was excited to find exactly what I was looking for our family trip to Italy. We were interested in our grandparents and their family ancestry in the towns of Arpaise and Pietrabbondante, and we needed an English speaking Interpreter.
It is hard to express in words our two days with Mirella and Stefano showing us the two towns of our grandparents. We were walking the same streets, walked into the same churches where many family members were baptized and married, we saw the houses where both our grandparents were born, we ate local food, and had the opportunity to meet some of the locals, the mayor of each town, and some very special family we did not know about prior.
We received documents, were told stories, and given pictures that we never could have found on our own. We immediately felt welcomed and that we were with family. There were so many amazing experiences packed into these two days to mention.
These memories will stay with us always!
Our family highly recommend Southern Italy Travel- Explore your roots. Mirella and Stefano gave us an experience of a lifetime. We love and appreciate both of them.
Grazie,
