Late 1800s. Frosolone, Italy.

A young boy claws his way out of the wreckage of a devastating earthquake, only to discover that his entire immediate family was killed in the disaster.

With nothing but the torn, tattered clothes on his back, he walked east for days toward Foggia, changing his surname as an act of survival in the town of Torremaggiore.

That instinct for reinvention carried him across the Atlantic, through Ellis Island, where his name was changed once more.

More than a century later, the original family name was rediscovered — preserved in the rubble of Frosolone — by a direct descendant, inspired by a legacy of resilience, adventure, and reinvention.
