Frank J. Ferrara:
My friend Giulio,
I hope that you are able to read my message. I do not know how sincerely I can express my thanks for all that
you have done for me this past year. You have made
a very long search and as important dream of mine come true. I have a new feeling in my life of finally connecting
with my Italian ancestors? Giulio, we here in America live an extremely fast life style, we don't stop and smell
the roses as those in the small villages of Italy do. Yes, my beliefs are that money does not buy hapiness. Respect,
admiration and genuine concern for people are far more important to me, and that is precisely what I found in tiny
the village of Castellino.

Giulio did it again!!! He found my family over 100 living between 1760 to 1880. The biggest surprise was the
priest who help him was a cousin I didn't know about I am so excited that I can't sleep I want to go and met them
I will someday
Giulio, you are wonderfull
From: Isa and Bob Howard
Giulio, Isa and I do not know how to thank you sufficiently and appropriately for making this "miracle" possible.
We thank you with all our hearts, and also appreciation is given on behalf of my many Puccini family members in the
U.S. who are equally grateful. In my initial memorandum to U.S. family members I have stated at one point: "The Puccini
family members of Diecimo and Lucca, Italy are Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!". It would have been appropriate to
have added, which I overlooked at the moment, "And this includes a most wonderful gentleman, Giulio C. Salemme".
Our very best wishes to you and to Mrs. Salemme, and our strongest expression of appreciation.
From: Mike Madeo
Giulio and Elisabetta when you read this I want to tell you that you are wonderful people.
God bless you for the good that you have done to so many by supporting our dreams of finding our
family in Italy. I have a special place in my heart for the two of you. It was nice to greet you
and depart from the two of you with the special Italian kisses. It was nice to share with you the
hope of coming to Italy some day. It was stimulating to hear you talk of your successes with Italian
research and by that give hope to me and others. I will see you again someday in Italy!!!!!!!!!!
For those of you who dream of discovering the land of your Ancestors and plan to travel to Italy,
Giulio can escort you and research your family together with you in the town of origin.
