Coming to America


97 years ago today, Guiseppe Farina, Grandma Radoccia's, father came to the U.S. through Ellis Island. The journey aboard the Prinzess Irene took 13 days. Great grandpa Farina had only $20 on him when he arrived in N.Y.C. What a journey! Lots more about Guiseppe soon!

Very cool Kristen, I had no idea that today was the date of his arrival.
The "Ides of March" now takes on a new significance for me. It is good to know this since I was named after him. Joe (Guiseppe)
