I travelled to Sulmona with mum before she passed to see where and how she grew up and to meet some of the relatives, we had a great time, I wish we could be back their now. Dad has only bad memories of his youth and not interested in the past, except his war stories, otherwise I don't know much about his side of the family.
On dads side, my grandfather-nonno was Domenico Giovannucci and nonna was Bambina Giovannucci, I think she was the cause of my fathers pain from what I understood when I spoke to the oldest relies.
Mum really held our family together, since she passed away we don't talk. Too many disagreements on how best to look after pop. Ironic that it's possible to talk to distant relatives on the other side of the world, but not my immediate ones.
I would really love to here from any Giovannucci's or Tirabassi's that may be related. Dad tells me we also have relies in the U.S.A, New York, Phili' and Chicago. Looking forward to hearing from anyone, Ciao Maurizio Giovannucci

Dad came to America when he was three and went back to Italy with my Mom and found the house he was born in. I'm looking to email any paisans out there who would like to connect. My brothers and I were born in America and both my parents are now deceased.

Luego los dìas 11 y 12 nos dirigiremos a Piano d´Orta y a San Valentino in Abruzzo Citeriore - Scafa - Pescara. Nuestra intenciòn es conocer el lugar y si es posible la casa en donde vivieron mis padres, y mis hermanos, ademas de tratar de encontrarme con algunos primos.
Ambos con mi marido somos ciudadanos italianos mis padres ya fallecidos se llamaban Jose Mastrodicasa y Paulina Di Tomasso, el primero era de Piano d´Orta y mi madre de San Valentino in Abruzzo Citeriore.
Mi padre tenia hermanos y recuerdos algunos nombres como Lucia ( que tambìen vivio en la Argentina ) Agostino y Valentin ( Vivio en Argentina un tiempo) y de mi madre recuerdo a Marìa ( La que fallecio hace muy poco tiempo en la Argentina ) y Juan.
Ellos vinieron a la argentina a fines del 40 junto a mis hermanos Dante, Enia, Juana, Vicenta y Eva y aquí nacimos mi hermano Juan Jose y quien les escribe la ultima de los hermanos: Maria Luisa Mastrodicasa.
Por favor si alguna persona lee este mensaje y me puede dar alguna orientaciòn para poder ubicar a mis parientes se lo agradecerè mucho.
