An Italian Family

I created this blog, to preserve family history, to share pictures of the Sicilian culture, and to share memories that are long gone, but not forgotten. 

The Scannavino family was started years and years ago, but all originated from Ragusa, Sicily. To this day we have living relatives with the Scannavino name who still walk the cobblestone streets. To those unfamiliar to Sicily, it is the little island on the bottom left of Italy. Around the early 1910's the Scannavino's from Ragusa slowly started leaving their homeland and immigrated to various places. Some went to directly to the United States and others detoured to Argentina. In Italian culture, extended family is no different than immediate family. As with most Italians, family is family and it's as simple as that.
