Italy - The Land of My Grandfather

In September 2007 we went on a trip of a lifetime to Teramo in the Abruzzo region of Italy to visit the home town of my grandfather, Mario DeFedericis, who came to America in 1912 and never returned. We fell in love with Italy, its people, its food and customs, and especially our grandfather's home in Abruzzo and his family who still live there. This site is dedicated to Mario and our Italy travels.
