The lead singer is a close friend of my husband's, and another in the band is a relative; they are beloved around here and play at many of our local celebrations :) I know Marasà well, Julia; I’ve even sung with them on stage haha.

I was just wondering if they were popular in Badolato and what your thoughts are on their music, if you've heard them play. I saw them live a few years back and love their sound! Thanks, Julia Hello Michelle,

My mother and grandmother are from Ferruzzano...I think it must be close in proximity to Badolato and so beautiful as all of Calabria is! I look forward to following this blog and admire your ability to move back...perhaps reversing in a small way the exodus you spoke about that has left so many villages in various stages of abandonment. For this reason I have been painting Calabria for over 17 years in fresco with love and passion for a place that I hold very dear...this summer I created a short video called "My Italy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnxorhsKhM0 that showcases the beauty of this place so many love but as you mentioned, perhaps they only return to once a year in August...please watch it as I know you will enjoy it and share it with those that would like another "taste" of Calabria and it's beauty! Thank you! <strong><em>I'm also so happy you found me; I will share your video on the blog shortly...will keep you posted! Love your work!!!!</em></strong> Wow, how blessed I feel to have found you through Maria Taccone’s blog “Reflections on my 40 years in Umbria”…I felt that reading Maria’s blog was like reading my own words, and now here you are, and I feel another wonderful connection!

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.
