Ma credo che aveva cugini e tie che si chiamavano Gregorio. O il albero della famiglia in Gasperina. Un tio abitava in Argentina. Dove abita? Posso mandare il albero della famiglia sua si vuole. Erano molti artiste nella famiglia nostra e il mio nonno era uno di tanti. Il padre era Giuseppe figlio d'Antonio. Il mio nonno aveva solamente una sorella che si chiama Marianna. Andava a Roma. Voglio sapere piu di lei. Per piacere scrive piu. Credo che noi siamo cugine. Grazie, Donna I fratelli d’Antonio morirono giovine. Ma credo che aveva cugini e tie che si chiamavano Gregorio.

I would encourage you to visit the Pennsylvania Historical Society to review his plays and a small sample of his poetry. They are in the Pisano/Siciliano Family Collection. In the interim, please feel free to stay in touch with me. I am more than happy to answer any questions. If his poems are selected for a reading, I would most certainly like to be in attendance. I have many others I can share once you decide how you want to proceed according to your needs. They are varied in style and topic.
