That was around 1956. I am now 63 and loved to spend summers with my family in Paestum. My mother and her entire family are from Naples...Alberto an Silvia Politelli. Have you ever heard of any of these people? Just wondering. Carol Hello,

Have you ever heard of any of these people?

Just wondering.

I am 32 but my grand parents told me their personal memories of the american landing of 1943. They said me that those was hard days, there was fear and misery (my grand mother to make a little bit of money sewed the wedding-dresses with the found cloths of the american parachutes). Some days ago in Salerno was found an english bomb of the 1943 and the old people told to the medias about the bombardments of June 1943. It was very interesting and touching and now they want pick up those memories to make the virtual archives for the museum of the american landing (it will be made in the future)before to lose that human patrimony. My relatives, Michael and Beverly Dorio (that live in New York), suggested me to visit this site; it's very interesting.
