lovely way to remember Papa Francesco and his Ligurian roots. His family left Europe for the New World the same year (1929) as my Irish nonni left their farm for USA..with 5 children- not good timing and they died very young from the hard lifestyle of the New England factories.

Hi Mary Jane, thank you so much, and also for recommending Liguria Letters.
How interesting to hear about your Irish ancestors traveling to the US in hope of a better life, harsh times indeed, we can’t imagine.
Ti auguro una buona fine settimana, Louise.
