Family Object My family came to the US from different parts of the world. My mother's family came from Uruguay a small country near Argentina and Brazil in South America. My family object was brought over from Italy by my grandfather (Mom's dad) because that is what his father did for business back in Italy. My great grandfather was a copper designer. He designed portraits and painted statues with copper to give them a shiny appeal. My grandfather brought over one of his designs from Italy. The picture below is a replica of the picture that my great grandfather designed. My grandfather remade it with copper after the first was destroyed when he immigrated to the US.
Another picture that I have is a picture that my
father's family had. This picture is not as old and does not have a
detailed story but it is interesting none the less. The picture is of a
man in Sicily, Italy
