I finally found my ancestral home north of Lucca!❤️🇮🇹❤️
Maria & Giovanni Giannecchini had 8 children between 1834 and 1852. My great great grandfather Ignazio was second in 1835 and with his wife Creusa had my great grandfather Ettore in 1874. Ettore was the one who left for CA and with his wife Louise had my grandfather Arthur in CA in 1909. Arthur married my Nana and they had my mom then quickly divorced.
The plaque on the house is a tribute to my great great grandfather’s brother and says ““Father Doroteo Giannecchini was born in this house in 1837. A Franciscan missionary, anthropologist, man of letters, and explorer, he died in Bolivia in 1900. The Municipality of Pescaglia and the Mountain Community erected this plaque as a well-deserved and lasting tribute. October 7, 1990.”
