You´re gonna love this.

Sorry it´s in Italian in parts, but it´s got English subtitles too so that you can follow... The undertitle reads "Sulle trace di Agostino Coppola" = tracking down August Coppola, that is to say, Nic´s great grandfather. He emigrated to the States at the turn of the century from Bernalda, a little town in southern Italy.

I can relate to this story. My own great granparents had to emigrate too, to Cuba and later to Mexico. They left their village behind, but not their roots.

Thanks to Michelle Russo for this!
