There is no place like home ! Italia

All I had was a bunch of old photos a last name and the name of a town in Italy where my Father was born.

When we would have family reunions all the cousins would tell stories about the farm in Tuscany. I was so entranced by the fascination of it all. My mind would take to fields of wild flowers, lemons growing on the trees and of course the farm animals.

All I ever wanted to do was go there and see it all.

So I wandered onto one of those find your ancestors sites and found very little information. I wanted to see the house my Father lived in and the farm he worked everyday.

So I went to www.agrifeudi.com. This company is located in Rome, Italy.

What they do is magnificent!

I gave them the information I had and then planned my trip.

When I arrived they had a driver waiting for me. As I approached the town I began to cry at the nostalgia of it all.

The Mayor of the town and the villagers all were there to greet me like I was some diplomat!

I was given flowers and welcomed as one of their own.

They took me to a beautiful village home. Then the show began.

Dinner was recreated by a team of people who were dressed in clothing from the time of the century I was researching.  Homemade pasta they way Nonna would have made it, fresh made cheese, eggs from the hen. Pastries made from scratch.

Then the dancing began. The people were dressed in traditional clothing, the music, and the smells; oh my God I was enchanted and immersed into this culture.

I saw the cemetery where Nonno and Nonna were buried.

I was provided with documents of marriage licenses and property deeds.

I even met some distant relatives.

This experience will live with me forever and I finally felt like I went home.

A tree without roots is a tree without Life~

Do you have Italian roots?

Do you have Italian roots ?
How much do you know about your Italian heritage?
In which Italian town were your ancestors born?
These are typical questions for people beginning a genealogic research.
Getting to know yourself even more can be possible if you get to know your family also.
Your traits, personality and identity in general can be defined by tracing your family history.
You owe your life today to the events that occurred along your whole family line in the past: that’s why we need to keep the past connected to the here and now. A tree with out roots is a tree with out life~
You would want to know about your great grandfather, where he lived, how he lived and what he did when he was alive. Getting to know them even better boosts your sense of belonging ness in the family and also defines your very existence.
More and more people want to learn where they came from and who their ancestors are. It is important to find your place in history and discover the stories of those who lived before you.
In these times, many people are taking a greater interest in discovering their family history than ever before: the Internet is a powerful tool for family history research.

There is more to Italy than just Rome! Find out ~ ~

Everyone loves Rome. The NY Times recently wrote this 36 hours itinerary and the timing couldn’t be better as people are looking to spring as the time to wander through Rome’s whimsical, windy and traipse romantic streets. What I love about it here, is that you can literally visit forty different times and get a completely different experience.

Everything has a story and you can see it sketched on famous monuments such as Trajan’s Column. We humans are masters at creating, but even better at destroying it, ‘La grande bellezza’ of human behavior perhaps.

Admittedly I myself went from ‘eh, Rome is ok but not really my thing’ to what I liken to being a ‘born again’ Rome lover ‘.  I’ve drunk the ‘juice’ and become more interested in a place I don’t get to visit enough though it is an easy one and a half hour train ride away.

The question is as always, how to tackle a city with a history dating back to 600-700 BC? Especially when you imagine it as the center of almost five hundred years as the world’s greatest superpower.

But there is more to Italy then just Rome especially if your family was born in Italy.

This is where a company called www.agrifeudi.com is not only changing lives but has created a new way to travel.

An actual testimonial:

I had a photo on my Nona's house in Naples with an address. We took a trip and walked the streets and low and behold we see the house. However it seemed to now be a business?

We talked to the owners and they would not let us go in nor really understood what we were trying to do.

That is when I contacted http://www.agrifeudi.com - https://www.facebook.com/rooting.agrifeudi.This company was amazing. The do not sell you a tour and you are not on a bus with 25 other people looking at beautiful surroundings but rather you provide them with the information you have and they do all the work for you.
They meet you and take you on the most amazing emotional and magical journey you will ever experience in your life.
I did get to see Nona's house and more. The deeds to land, the cemetery sites, the marriage licenses and more.
Oh what a journey. I even have relatives that I now keep in touch with
This trip not only connected me to my roots and past but also made me discover more of who I am and why.


Thank you..

They take you as far back to the 18th century. Can you imagine walking through the town of your ancestors? What if you discovered that your Great, Great, Grandfather (Nonno) helped build the Trevi Fountain!

Then for a second you had that Ah-Ha moment.

When you were a child you were fascinated with bricks and rocks. Yet you never knew why you had this fascination.

Imagine not only seeing but touching documents and photos of ancestors that made you who you are today!

Some of us may have visited Italy and always end up in Rome  as I stated in the beginning of this blog,seeing the beautiful architecture, the Vatican and more.

I know you are thinking that you cannot afford to do this! However Agrifeudi is budget friendly and will custom tailor to suit your needs.

Agrifeudi does not sell tours but rather a unique emotional rooting experience that will help you discover more of who you are.

So contact them and start planning your journey.

Its called Personal rooting – as in a tree with out roots is a tree without life~
