We arrived this morning, Weds June 6, in Termini Imerese, Sicily.  This town is the birthplace of Tim's grandparents, Michael and Josephine Lombardo, who came to St. Louis around 1894. The town has a population of 25,000 and is approximately 20 miles east of Palermo.   

Most accounts of Termini Imerese on the internet are not very enthusiastic.  Most travel books don't talk about it or perhaps mention it as a footnote. 

We had no idea what we would find.
