Path of the Paladeni Family: From Gorfigliano to Yacolt and Back - 8571

During hard times in Italy, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the Paladini family, like millions of other Italians, immigrated to the USA. In 1906, they left their remote mountain village of Gorfigliano, north of Lucca, Tuscany, and eventually settled in the countryside near Yacolt, Washington. Hard work, illness, and threat of internment during WWII were challenges they faced as their family grew. But most of all, they longed for their family in Italy. Like many others, they returned to Italy, and then went back to the US. Yet, their longing to return to Italy never left them. The author has carried on where they left off, becoming acquainted with family in the villages of Gorfigliano and Roggio on her many trips there, and walking the paths where they walked so many years before.This edition contains black and white photos inside.
