I can see why your Dad would be one of your best friends, and where you got your charm from, it is certainly hereditary. While in college, I had a room mate, Rosa Maria Nicosia Cipolla, and that was my first close encounter with the wonderful Italian family scenario and became very jealous that I had been born of Scotch, Danish ancestors.....What an experience! For a child of a mother that was an only child, and a father that had one half sister, my first visits to Rose's home were a culture shock filled with sights, sounds and smells that were totally "foreign" to me. My first exposure to "gravy" being something other then a brown sauce to go with roast beef. People everywhere, everyone talking loudly and laughter coming from a kitchen with women stacked on top of each other and a family room of story telling men. My first chance to see the full monty of true Italian family was on "St. Giuseppe" day!!!!!!!!!! Tables had to be borrowed for the church to seat everyone and people seemed to poor out of the woodwork of the house that was chosen, as it had the largest room, where everyone could be seated. No one entered with an empty hand, and every woman brought their own apron. I was in heaven! This to me was what family was supposed to be all about. I got the cliff notes version of the history of the day and that this was only one of many yearly occasions of this magnitude.....I wanted to increase my melatonin level by 40 degrees, change my blue green eyes to ebony and take that yellow hued hair and immediately turn it black as the ace of spades. Your story of your family, your birth, your naming brought back many wonderful memories and I will never forget your middle name or your birthday. Giorgio Giuseppe, the revolutionary, so glad your fate was predetermined!Loreenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229239852863782071.post-56321540245619897092011-06-25T10:45:44.504-04:002011-06-25T10:45:44.504-04:00Grandma Lina recounted the story of the original f...Grandma Lina recounted the story of the original family rebel revolutionary one day while we were all sitting around the living room on Gayle Rd.
