Hello, I will be visiting Venitmiglia

Hello, I will be visiting Ventimiglia with my family in May incluidng my father to honor the memory of my grandfather and am looking for guidance to possibly get in touch with the Mayor Enrico Ioculano or with the relatives of Ettore and Esther Bossi. My grandfather wrote a memoir of his time in the holocaust, and in those memoirs we discovered that the family instrumental in saving he and my grandmothers lives was honored, and a plaza in Ventimiglia was also named in their honor (Ettorre and Marco Bassi Piazza). I first read of the report of the naming of the Piazza in the Riviera Press, 21 April 2015. A later article appeared in the SanRemo News, 26 November 2018 in which Ino Bonello, the provincial president of Confesercenti of Imperia placed ‘a flower not to forget’ at the Piazza.     The Reiner memoir, Counting on America was published in July 2018. Considerable recognition in the memoir was given to Ettorre Bassi and his wife Esther regarding their role in providing illegal boat passage of my grandparents from Bordighera to Nice, France (1939). As you are aware, the smuggling of Jews out of Italy was in coordination with the Comasebit underground relief operation. Although Mr. Bassi was murdered by the Nazis in 1942 for his role in the relief operation, my grandfather communicated with Mrs. Bassi (Ester Segrè) after the war, as he remained forever grateful to Ettorre and his family.     On Saturday May 19, I plan to bring my father, mother, and sister to Ventimiglia out of respect for the Bassi family and the City of Ventimiglia; and to extend my personal thanks to Enrico Ioculano and Ventimiglia for  acknowledging the efforts of the Bassi family in helping Jews during the Holocaust. I have tried to reach out to Mayor Ioculano without success but have no way of finding the descendents of the Bassi family.  If anyone has any connections or information to help us along, we would be forever grateful. Sincerely,Jeff Reinerjreiner@gmail.com
