Family Reunion

.

The great grandchildren of Antonio and Salvatore Lopetrone met in California on January of 2007.

Carol Heppner (photo above) is the great granddaughter of Antonio Lopetrone. Tony Petrone is the great grandson of Salvatore Lopetrone (He and his wife Linda are seen in the photo above). Their family lost contact over the years and were reunited via email about two years ago. Antonio and Salvatore changed their name to Petrone when they moved to the USA.

Piazza S Pietro

Viene dai monti della Sila l'albero di Natale 2006,

allestito in Piazza S Pietro al Vaticano

by Pasquale Lopetrone

Ecco l'abete bianco di 90 anni, alto circa 34 metri, che vola sul cielo di S Giovanni in F, trasportato da un grande elicottero. La grande pianta, dei boschi della Sila, è stata destinata come albero di Natale, in Piazza S Pietro, Città del Vaticano - Roma.Gli ambientalisti hanno alimentato una grande polemica per il taglio di quest'enorme conifera.

.Saint Peter's Square, Vatican: The 2006 Christmas Tree

comes from the mountains of the Sila

Here is the white fir of 90 years, about 34 meters tall, as it flies in the skies of S Giovanni in F, transported by a great helicopter. This great plant taken from the woods of the Sila, has been chosen as the Christmas tree that will be used in S Pietro Plaza, Vatican - Rome. The environmentalists have pushed forth a great polemic for the cut of this enormous conifer.

Abbracci fraterni, Pasquale e famiglia
