Hello, everyone. My name is Melissa, and I live in the US. I found this forum quite by accident in searching for Italian newspapers today.

I am Italian/English, 3rd generation American out of Sicily. I live in Central California and have never been to Italy, speak a little, can read Italian to an extent as my Grandfather only wrote us letters in Italian. The area where I live is a high concentration of America-Italian farming families with close ties and frequent visits "home"
The culture is VERY strong here.

Hi MGuzzi,

welcome to the forum! Would be interesting to find out what sort of traditions, events, etc you keep alive within your community in California - are most people from a specific part of Italy/Sicily or from all over Italy?
