Gia-Gina Across the Pond

So I've decided to follow my husband to his native Italy. Follow our adventures as we eat, drink, travel, adapt to and explore this remarkable country. Part food blog, part photo blog but mostly my rants and raves. After our two years in Italy, we relocated across the Atlantic "pond" and are back in the States.

A Sad Weekend

We were planning on heading to Rome this past weekend for a quick visit but ended up staying from Sunday to Thursday. I will try to make a very long story short: Demetrio’s brother and his wife have 2 children. Alberto (D’s brother) died in 2002. His wife, Lorella died on Sunday morning and leaves the 2 children now aged 12 and 7. Demetrio’s mom who is a saint, along with her husband Mario, have been helping to care for the children for many years; they now are going to become their legal guardians. The other set of grandparents are in their 70’s and they are the logical choice. Demetrio however is the their back-up guardian and in the upcoming months we will be working hard to get to know the children better.

I don't have much else to report as this is a very private matter within the Ceccacci, D'Ambrosi, Di Pascale and Giovannini families.
