BENVENUTO!!!

This site is dedicated to my famiglia from Northern Italia.

My grandfather Giovanni Lorenz Baptista Passerino was born 06 apr 1896 at Santa Caterina, Rocca d'Arozzo, Asti, Piemonte, Italy.  His father, my great grandfather, Allesandro, who had been living in America,  brought both of his sons, Giovanni & Giuseppe to America via Cap Horn to San Francisco on 17 apr 1906, one day before the famous earth quake.

My grandmother, Angelina Pignocco, was born 04 apr 1897, Butte City, Montana to Antoine Pignocco & Lucille Theresa Allemandi.  Antoine Pignocco came to USA in 1888 with quite a few of his siblings from San Giorgio, Canavese, Torino, Italy.  Lucille Theresa Allemandi came with her parents, Giuseppe & Theresa Aymar abt 1888 from the area of Cuneo, Italy.
