I live in Abruzzo - Italy, it is a beautiful region and we are trying to really get integrated with the local communities. If there is anyone that needs help in this area with finding family please don't hesitate to ask.
If anyone is coming to the area investigating family we have a lovely property that can be used as a base, please see the following link -

Looking forward to being able to help.
