Emanuele,
I am sooooooooo happy to hear from you! Two years ago I wrote to Antonio at the last address I had from him, but never heard back, and thought maybe he had died and you and your sisters moved away. Several Farruggias on Facebook who are from Aragona have been trying to help me locate ...

Grazie, grazie, grazie! I've been looking for a way to navigate the archival information from Agrigento, and this led me to it!
