CICALE FAMILY RESEARCH 5.HEIC

Let us take you back to your

family's ancestral village and

see the Italy of long ago, through their eyes.

 

Explore the streets where your great-grandparents met, visit the church where they got married and see the home where they lived, alongside a personal guide and translator.

Most Italian-Americans have roots in small towns in Italy where the traditions and architecture have often remained the same for centuries. Italian officials and churches are amazing record keepers, so if it happened, it's documented and stored somewhere waiting for us to discover. Marriages, baptisims, and addresses are kept on file and most homes are able to be found. We'll also take a more casual approach to discovering your story while there, chatting with locals to learn the legends (and gossip!) of the village.  

Let's chat!

We offer a free 30 minute call to learn more about where you are on your Italian roots journey, what documentation you already have or need to find,  so we can curate the perfect homecoming experience in your family's ancestral town.
