I arrived a little late, but saved the meeting from being just 13. I also got a chance to give Bernie a copy of pictures, schedule and news articles about the SS Georgia , as his relatives also come on that ship. Enrico told us about his just finished trip to Italy where they tried to visit every known Pelitti there. In addition to the visits they experienced a blown tire and the front ripped from their car by a tank-truck. Seems that last visit Enrico was hit by a car in a parking lot.
Bus tours look like a good idea for the next visit.
But Enrico did make friends with a curator at the Vatican Archives, and that maybe helpful for all of us lost in the Papal States prior to unification. Enrico Pelitti just returned from a trip to Italy to visit relatives and while he was there did some genealogy work. Enrico related details of his 3-month travels through Italy.
