Over 25 million Italians have emigrated between 1861 and 1960 with a migration boom between 1871 and 1915 when over 13,5 million emigrants left the country for European and overseas destinations.

Peter,
My GGM Carolina Bertuccio was born in Genova on October 18th, 1892 in Genova, I don't know what part of Genova though, I do have a copy of her passport where the town is listed but I can't make out what it says.
Her father was Luigi Bertuccio and her mother Rosa Rodono.

I sent them an email and a formal letter, and yesterday I received my GGM's BC.
The name Italia, probably a Graecized form of Italic Vitelia (='calf land'), was originally restricted to the southern half of the 'toe' but was gradually extended. By 450 B.C.
