Dearest Mario,I know that we are related, all the Strappell's from Terano Nuovo are ! I'm so happy to meet you, and would love to meet you in person sometime. We have been looking into a possible trip to Europe, and England would be a wonderful place to start. My husband ( Andy), and I are in our mid-50's, and ready to retire. And, we have been trying to purchase some Strappelli wine, and have not heard back. Could you direct me on making that happen ? I'm so glad to find a Strappelli that speaks English, as unfortunately, I speak no Italian. My father's parents, Micheli and Teresa ( Piccinini sp ? ) spoke no English when they were younger, and made my father and his siblings answer them in English so they could learn the language, and they did ! So, my father speaks it, and understands it, but did not pass it along to us, except a few words, here and there. Mostly commands !!! Hahahaha !!!!!!! I would love to keep in touch with you. If you have found a message posted from Susan, that is my sister. I also have 2 brothers, Michael and Stephen, who live in Colorado, and they would love to be in touch with you also. I'm so excited about this, I just can't tell you !!!!! You have made my day !!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for the response, please keep in touch, and I will too. I know in my heart that I love you. Take care. Write again soon, and give me more details on your life. Our grandparents must have been cousins, and possibly siblings. My Grandfather , Micheli, was born in 1880, that is a very long time ago, so maybe another generation. Thank you for writing. I will write again. And, from our home to yours, you and your family also have a blessed Holiday season. Love, Sandra Strappelli Yancey
