Then we found this. Just a stone's throw from the Hotel. 

It's Vico Papania, No. 8.  According to a birth certificate found in the Termini Imerese records, Tim's grandmother once lived here.  We caused some excitement in the neighborhood - standing in front of the the house, gawking and taking pictures. A woman in her 30's came home and we started talking to her in broken Italian and she, to us,  in broken English. Two young boys about 9 years old pulled up on their bicycles and joined in.  They spoke some English they learned in school. 

We told them that my grandmother Giuseppa Rizzo lived there a long time ago. The woman went into her house and called her 94 year old uncle to see if he remembered any Rizzos from long ago, but he couldn't remember. He wouldn't have known the Rizzos anyway, because they were probably gone by the time he was born.  

You can see the number 8 handwritten on the wall. Every other address has a ceramic plaque with a number.  It looks like No. 8 is no longer a residence.  Perhaps because of a reconfiguration of the homes. But the address number is still there.  Not sure why.  "Vico" means little street. And it was. It's only one short block. 

We were both amazed that we found it.
