ItalyMondo: finding your Italian roots

If you’re interesting in retracing your Italian background and origins in Italy, you should get in contact with Peter Farina.
Voted by the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce as young entrepreneur of the year, he discovered a love of Italy and his Italian roots when rummaging in the attic of his “nonna’s” house.

Since that discovery in 2006, Peter Farina has set up a business called ItalyMondo, and now spends about six months of the year in Italy.
His business provides a kind of family tree and scrapbooking service, including creating your own family history book, with family tree, and photos of the hometown in Italy and a full history on the immigration of a family.

ItalyMondo also provides the possibility of tracing the family history of members who remained in Italy, and the opportunity to contact and meet the family.
