[@karencardinale4718]

Born and raised in Pittsburg, California but my family came from Isola della Femmine. 2nd generation on one side and 3rd generation on the other! love the video and would love to go there one day! Family is in Monterey too!

[@EszterVajda]

Great little town! We are adding it to our tours for sure !

[@nathancraver3375]

Ciao, Karen!

[@denisewilkins5012]

Hi Karen, we need to go visit our family heritage.

[@mariesalter3988]

You are definitely related to me! Cardinale. My father had 2 half-sisters from Pittsburgh and his father lived in Monterey.

[@joannestinson851]

Oh, that cannolo looked soooo good! My favorite dessert!

[@davidaliotti9710]

Isola delle Femmine is my hometown's Sister City. I live in Monterey, California. I was able to meet Joe DiMaggio when he came to our family picnic. I missed visiting Isola in 2019, but, I hope to visit hopefully in 2022.

[@YouMeandSicily]

Must visit great town !

[@marcoromano2078]

Quest'isola mi ricorda la mia infanzia, avevamo una casina per il periodo estivo anni '80 a Capaci e spesso con la barca andavamo a fare una "scampagnata" sull'isola , bella con una storia affascinante, bei ricordi

[@nathancraver3375]

Grazie! My father-in-law’s family came from Isola and now live in Pittsburg, CA. We lived in Martinez for several years also! Had plans to visit Sicily earlier this year but had to postpone... :(. Hoping to make it someday!!

[@susanpeterson8942]

Thanks for another great episode ! I can taste that cannoli. The best

[@phyllisnicholas2603]

My family on both sides come from Isola Delle Femmina. They came to Monterey as fishermen. My nonno Ventimiglia who was born in Isola Delle Femmina started a sardine factory on Cannery Row in Monterey in the 40s. It’s a park now with a plaque that commemorates him and his cannery. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting this town in Sicily, and discovered several not so distant relatives there. Thank you for this video. It’s lovely.

[@YouMeandSicily]

[@johnfbremerjr]

My father-in-law Pete Cardinale moved from Isola to Monterey as a boy. He fished all up and down the West Coast and like many Sicilians and Croatians ended up fishing salmon in Alaska. To this day fisherman from Trapetto, San Vito and even Marettimo make the June pilgrimage to Bristol Bay to fish Sockeye.

[@JimfromPitt]

Wow!!! My dad was born there. We live in Pittsburg California!!

[@dustycostello4069]

My family fished Bristol Bay for years. They just sold the license about 10 years or so ago.

[@tommiller7357]
