After arriving, we asked a young man if he knew anything of our ancestors, The Bonaventuras or Monaco's. He didn't really know of them personally, but for the next hour and a half he gave us a tour of the town and asked everyone we came across if they had heard of our relatives. I think we were about a generation to late for anyone to know of my grandparents, but we did have a wonderful time. He said his brother ran the city town hall which was closed but he would get the key for us. He gave us maps and postcards etc. All in all, just delightful. Our Italian lessons that we took before our trip were invaluable. It was a great time as was the rest of our stay in Italy.
