the oddest thing...the pasta factory in salerno owned by my grandmother's family, then bombed. was pasta scaramella.

i wonder if he's a relative.

of course my mum did have more than 250 second cousins, all living between napoli and salerno!

with you and degondi, my dreams of good italian coverage here at et have come true!
