This film as won a ton of awards and traces a Sicilian man's eventful journey to America.

Italian Home Pages |
 Vince Cardinale has put
together a good list of
Italian/Sicilian sites. You can also read the first chapter of his book: Life of My Life.Steve Maggioncalda is just starting on his home page. He's got a lot more to come. If nothing else you should take a look at The Italian Geneology Homepage. The homepage of Agelo Grifasi is both in Italian and English and contains some great information about Sicilian history and law. Camille Zanni and Bill Courson have put together PLANET ZANNI - "The story of an Italian Family in the New World". A good story with some nice information on how Italian names change over time. |

Eilena Luzzi is putting together a website called All My Books that showcases her collection of books about Italy, books by Italian authors, English and Italian language cookbooks, history, religion, art, travel, vhs, cds, dvds, and more..also some wonderful photos of Italy throughout the site.
The Ustica Genealogy Homepage..."represents an ongoing effort to translate, record and link genealogic information for the families of Ustica, Italy, and their descendants in America." D'Addezio.com is an amazing and well done site with links to over 50 databases. I'm jealous! If you've gotten this far you absolutely must take a look at the homepage of POINT (Pursuing Our Italian Names Together - get it?). POINT is "...a network of individuals who are interested in their Italian heritage or their Italian roots and are actively pursuing their Italian surnames and creating an Italian family tree." Wow! Just like you and me. Discovering Your Italian Ancestors is a book by Lynn Nelson and looks to be a great resource - especially if you're just getting started. Also be sure to check out the section on POINTers In E-Mail (or PIE). PIE is "an electronic mailing list devoted exclusively to Italian Genealogy and related cultural topics. It is an excellent resource for individuals conducting Italian genealogical research in the United States, Italy or other parts of the world. Form letters that provide a rough guide on sending for information from the "old country". Compiled by the staff of the Family History Center. The Sicily Book List offers some suggested reading. Mostly dictionary's right now. Looking for some maps of Italy? The good people from the PIE mailing list have some suggestions. Tracing Your Italian Ancestory is a good article for those new to Italian genealogy written by Tom Alciere. Used without permission.
