Help me find my cousin(s), Silvio & Franco Ferretti. Their parents were Luigi & Mariuccia Ferretti. I’m American and want to contact my Italian cousins. I don’t remember my uncle’s address or telephone number. I think it was somewhere on Via Monte Scotte (my Italian is bad). My mother and her brother and sister passed within a short time of one-another back about 2007. If you can help, I eould appreciate it. Thanks
