We have a title!
I have been waiting to go online until I had sufficient content, decent links, some knowledge of WordPress… and a title.
Many ideas came and went — some cliché, some wordy, some overly-hyphenated (Italian-American-Italian was the first title).
So here I am, theamericancousin!
Being of Italian descent, I am given a special welcome almost everywhere – the gelateria, the yoga studio, the caffè. They are all glad to see Italian-Americans visiting “the old country” (another one-time blog title).
Most welcoming, of course, are my Italian cousins. I remain overwhelmed by their generosity and kindness, for all the dinners, the day trips, the memories.
So this site will document the process of reconnecting with Italian family, attaining Italian citizenship, and and starting a new life overseas. I hope you enjoy it, and that it inspires you to seek out your ancestral home and the Italian family that may be missing you right now!
Un’abbraccio.
