I did find one though in Camigliano; my g-grandmother's farm which is abbandoned unfortunately. But it was great as I had a real connection to the country , I didnt feel like a tourist when I saw that farm. For this reason I get nostalgic when i hear about forgotten italian towns or see pictures like the ones you have here. Seeing that farm really solidified the Italian identity that I had within myself, cemented when I got my Italian passport! <strong><em>I haven't been able to pinpoint houses yet, but I really should get on that; I think I have to look at old tax records and stuff...hmm....</em><em></em></strong> That’s my next project, to find former houses and locations of my family in Italy.

I haven’t been able to pinpoint houses yet, but I really should get on that; I think I have to look at old tax records and stuff…hmm….
