Sunday Shout-out: italyMONDO!

 

ItalyMONDO banner

 

It  is with great pleasure that I introduce my last Campania blogger as part of this September’s Sunday Shout-out feature. Did you think you had discovered all the Campania bloggers out there? Think again! Let me introduce you to the italyMONDO! Blog, where you can read about Italian lifestyle, culture, news, traditions, food, wine and so much more. Let me also introduce you to Peter, the president of italyMONDO! and truly one of the most passionate, enthusiastic and dedicated people I have ever met. After an unforgettable and rewarding experience researching his family roots in the Basilicata, Lazio and Molise regions in Italy, Peter founded italyMONDO! in 2006. His dream, as he describes it,

…is to help everyone with Italian ancestors to reconnect with their heritage – to find that missing piece of their puzzle. You may have thought your family’s unique story was forever lost – but it’s only hidden, and you and your family deserve the experience of discovering it together.

 

Peter and his dedicated team accomplish this by offering services for Family Tree research, help finding relatives living in Italy with their FamilyFinder service, and custom designed Heritage Tours where you can literally walk in your ancestor’s footsteps. If you need help navigating the complicated process of obtaining Dual Italian-American Citizenship, head over to italyMONDO! and they can help you out with that as well.

While exploring the italyMONDO! Blog, you have to look closely for the Campania connection, because italyMONDO! and the blog are not focused on one particular region in Italy. Some of you, however, might have caught the reference in the recent article on La Festa di San Gennaro about the italyMONDO! Italian office being located just five miles from Mt. Vesuvius. So let’s give a warm welcome to Campania to Peter and the italyMONDO! team! I also want to personally thank Peter for bringing me into the italyMONDO! family as a regular contributor to the italyMONDO! Blog. I am honored to be working with such great people, and in my own small way be a part of inspiring Italians around the world to rediscover their family roots. Many thanks to Peter and italyMONDO! for helping so many people learn about and reconnect with their Italian heritage!

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
