Italian Roots and Genealogy

Embark on an emotional journey through time as we sit down with the remarkable duo from Abruzzo Ancestors, Davide Castellucci and Giulia Scappaticccio, who bring the hidden narratives of Italian lineage to light. The rolling hills of Abruzzo, steeped in the heritage of Italy's emigrants, serve as the backdrop for tales that intertwine food, memories, and the indelible bonds of family. Giulia's culinary delights at her bed and breakfast offer a taste of history, while Davide's prowess in genealogical sleuthing helps clients stitch together their fragmented pasts. Together, they remind us that the essence of who we are is intricately woven into the stories of those who came before us.
Imagine stumbling upon an artifact at a flea market that spins your world into an enthralling 15-year quest, or discovering your forebearers' connections to Spanish nobility and the daring escapades of Italian brigands. Our conversation navigates these ancestral waters, charting the surprising ties between past and present. It's a reminder that our mannerisms, dreams, and very identities may have deeper roots than we ever imagined, and these roots reveal themselves through the careful excavation of historical documents and family legends.
Transformations abound, not only in the personal revelations of our guests' clients but also in the charming conversion of Casale Centurione from an ancient homestead to a haven for seekers of heritage. As we look ahead to Abruzzo Ancestors' upcoming project, we discuss the convergence of legal hurdles and emotional connections that accompany the quest for Italian citizenship and the reclaiming of one's heritage. Listen in for a heartfelt exploration of identity, belonging, and the timeless allure of
discovering where we come from.
