I just happend to come across this site.was wondering about my own heritage and found that there was a St. Ubaldo. dont know much about my family history but know my grand dad come from italy and the lived in Villanova pa. witch is where i am from.

My wife and I live in Chicago and were married in Gubbio, on September 20, 2007. We returned to Gubbio last year for our first anniversary, and always talk of returning for La Festa dei Ceri. Perhaps, in 2009, we will visit Jessop. Glad I found this site and look forward to learning more. We also offer prayers to those affected by the earthquake in the L'Aquila vicinity.

Hi everybody, Antonio Giorgi here, originally from Gubbio, i live and work in Toronto, Ontario since 2006, hope to have the opportunity to meet you all one day.
