September 2022 I contacted Southern Italy Travel in the spring of 2020, amid the pandemic. No one at the firm, nor myself living in the United States, realized the extent of the pandemic at that time. But Mirella Ammirati took on my request to round out my family tree for which I had a few names, […]
August 2022 I was so happy with the choice I made to work with Southern Italy Travel to help research my family history in Molise. Stefano and Mirella were very patient while I sourced as much information from old photos and scraps of paper with addresses from time past of relatives we were not sure […]

July, 2018 Stefano did a thorough search of my family records in the small town in Southern Italy where my grandfather was born and where he lived until he left to come to the United States in 1906. Until then I only had stories that my grandfather told me when I was a young child […]

He met us at the train station […]
