My family’s known history began 107 years ago on a boat that took off from Italy and had its sights set on America. Aboard this boat were newly-weds Ernesto and Maria Bellini.

While on board the ship, Maria gave birth to my great-grandfather Fieravante (Fred) Bellini. Due to the birth, the Bellinis decided to stop in Argentina in…

It was already getting so warm outside and the beach didn’t have many people there yet so it was perfect. So we are all unpacking our beach supplies on the sand and Kookies mom started making sandwiches. We ate a…
