Italy is a wonderful place to live. Italy is located centrally on the Mediterranean sea, it has tens of islands and more then seven thousand kilometers of beautiful coast. Italy served as an important crossroad and an intersection between North and South, East and West. Italy has a very rich history and culture that includes art, science, architecture, popular traditions and ancient customs. |

Italy has a very important role in family history: if your ancestors came from Europe, it is very likely that a branch of your family came from, or went through Italy. Moreover Italy is a place of great emigration: for centuries Italians populated all corners of the world. The family was the place where they kept their ties with their homeland: in the Italian society the family is the centre of the social structure. |
