COMMENTO
Da San Diego California Marlene Robershaw Manfrè
Ciao, Salute, Loella, ci vediamo ad Ustica ??quest’ anno ??
when will we see you in Utica ?? this year ??
On Saturday February 5th My wife Emily, daughter Allyson, and myself Anthony visited Maria Compagno’s home in Mandeville, Louisiana USA where we also met Pietro Bertucci, who is visiting from Ustica, Italy. We had a delightful time with them. We called Ustica while we were there and were able to speak with our family. My brother Abe and I will be going to Ustica in April or May of this year to stay with Gianna Licciardi. Before we left Maria’s home we were able to get a copy of her cookbook and a bottle of her limoncello. We hope to visit with Maria and Pietro before he returns to Italy.

Sono contento di vedere i miei amici americani con la loro bellissima figlia ( che non conoscevo) ai quali faccio i miei più cari auguri e arrivederci ad Ustica – Sono delle persone veramente speciali.
Dimenticavo: anche da parte di Gianna Licciardi naturalmente.
I’m glad to see my American friends with their beautiful daughter (who did not know) to whom I offer my best wishes and goodbye to Ustica –
They are very special people. I forgot: also by Gianna Licciardi course.

I especially love the view of the port from up high….
I have been there three times and plan on returning many more times…

Cosa significa per me essere ad Ustica… è come sperimentare (provare) la gioia più grande… Ognuno è così utile e gentile … ed il solo sapere che i miei antenati, una volta camminava per le strade che ho camminato ad Ustica mi fa sentire molto più vicino a loro … questa è ovviamente una sensazione personale, ma a parte questo, Ustica è un bel posto da visitare. C’è molto da vedere e la gente è molto cordiale e disponibile …
Io amo particolarmente la vista del porto dall’alto ….
Io sono stata ad Ustica tre volte e ho in programma di ritornare ancora tante volte …

Dear Pietro Bertucci:
I finally have time to write and to let you know how much my sister Cathy, my daughter, Rachel and I enjoyed our stay in Ustica. We were looking forward to visiting Ustica as you know our ancestors originated there. .
As the boat was approaching Ustica; we could see how beautiful the island was. I remember thinking; this is amazing that I was able to visit our ancestor’s home land. To me it was like going back into time.
You greeted us at the port and drove us to the lovely home that we rented. We felt so welcomed by everyone. It was very refreshing to see that every home had fresh potted flowers at their door steps and hanging outside their windows. There were beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers all around. I loved the cobblestone streets and was admiring the architecture around the island.
As you recommended we took a boat ride around the island and a gentleman named Peppe Caminita offered to take us. We really enjoyed the boat ride. The water was incredibly beautiful and we were amazed by the beauty of the island.
The people of Ustica were extremely warm and friendly. Even though we did not speak Italian; they were very patient in trying to understand what we were asking or looking for. Each time we went down to the Square, everyone would wave and tell us hello.
One day as we were walking around and we walked too far, and my Aunt Loe was too tired to continue. I walked ahead and ran into Vincenzo Padovani who you introduced to us earlier. I explained to him my Aunt needed a ride back to the Square. He quickly got on his motorcycle and went to her rescue. When they passed me up on the motorcycle I had to laugh. It was comical to see her on the back of a motorcycle. I was very impressed how genuinely nice the people were.
I have told many people in New Orleans how lovely and beautiful Ustica is. Especially how good the ice cream is! I ate so much ice cream I thought I was going to gain weight.
We could never thank you enough for all of your help during our stay in Ustica. You were very informative about the island and its history. You showed us around and introduced us to many of the local merchants. I hope to visit Ustica again in a few years.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Franz
