Our family is planning on living in Italy for 6-9 months (starting in September 2015). I served a mission in Portugal and my wife served a mission in France. We have 7 children (see profile photo) - ages 15,12,9,7,5,3,2.
We are looking for suggestions of where there might be a good ward/branch that our kids would have other kids/youth AND where our family can contribute to the church in that area. As both me and my wife served in Europe - we understand the ward/branches and primary/youth programs are going to be smaller than in most U.S. wards.
I figure the best place to get a recommendation is from the past/current Elders/Sisters - as you know the church best in Italy.
We would prefer a mid-size city over a large or small city - but really it is about where we would best "fit" and contribute. This is really most about giving the kids the experience of living abroad in Italy.
Any recommendations of cities/wards would be much appreciated!!

I did not serve in the Milan Italy mission - but traveled in Europe the year after my mission in Madrid.
I am looking for a family that lived in Bergamo around 1996. I met the younger sister (in her late 20's at that time) at the temple in Bern - her older brother was married to a woman - I believe named Lucia. They had 2 or 3 children - at the time 2 older ones were around 6-10 years old, so the kids would be in their mid- to late- 20's now . The older brother (married to Lucia?) did the voice of Lucifer in the Italian translation for the temple. I am trying to track them down - at least names (to look for them on Facebook or Linkedin - email addresses would be great. thanks

Cari Fratelli e Sorelle,
Siamo felici di annunciare che i lavori per la costruzione del Tempio di Roma sono ufficialmente iniziati.
Il sentimento di profonda gratitudine per questa grande benedizione che il Signore sta’ riversando sui santi a Roma e in Italia, ci spinge a chiedere a tutti i membri del palo di Roma di mostrare la nostra gratitudine unendoci in un digiuno di ringraziamento Domenica 24 Luglio 2011.
Questo digiuno ci consentira’ di prepararci con ancora maggiore consapevolezza spirituale per il viaggio di palo al Tempio svizzero la settimana successiva, e di unirci in un ideale abbraccio spirituale al fine di ringraziare il Padre Celeste per le grandi benedizioni che generosamente riversa sul suo popolo e su questa parte della sua vigna.
Vi chiediamo di continuare a servire con sempre maggiore devozione, carita’ e fede mentre ci prepariamo a ricevere ulteriori benedizioni nella Casa che il Signore sta’ preparando per noi.
Esprimiamo profonda gratitudine a tutti i santi nel palo mentre condividiamo questi momenti di grande gioia spirituale.
Con affetto
La Presidenza del Palo

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We are pleased to announce that construction on the Rome Temple has officially commenced.
The profound feeling of gratitude that results from this great blessing which the Lord is pouring out upon the saints in Rome and elsewhere in Italy, invites us to ask all members of the Rome Stake to consider showing our gratitude by uniting in a thanksgiving fast on Sunday, July 24, 2011.
This fast will help us prepare ourselves, with even greater spiritual sensitivity, for our temple trip to Switzerland the following week, and to unite us in a symbolic spiritual embrace to thank Heavenly Father for the great blessings that He so generously pours out upon His people in this part of His vineyard.
We ask you to continue to serve with ever greater devotion, charity, and faith while we prepare ourselves to receive the greater blessings that the Lord is preparing for us in His house.
We express our profound gratitude to all the saints in the stake as we share these great moments of spiritual joy.
With affection,
The Rome Stake Presidency

We made fresh yogurt with Danone - especially in Torino. I don't remember how. Does anyone have that recipe?

I received this announcement from LDSChurchTemples.com: "The groundbreaking ceremony for the Rome Italy Temple was announced in church meetings throughout Italy yesterday. President Thomas S. Monson will preside over the services, which will be held on Saturday, October 23. Attendance is strictly limited to invited priesthood leaders and special guests. However, the proceedings of the ceremony will be rebroadcast to all chapels in Italy the following day so that all may participate.
"The buildings planned for the site include the temple, a meetinghouse, a visitors center, and a patron housing facility. An architectural rendering of the temple will be revealed at the groundbreaking."

HI!
My daughter is heading to the Italy Milan mission on November 17th. My husband and I thought it would be a fun idea to visit the mission before she got there so when she writes, we will be able to visualize where she is. Does anyone have any suggestions for places to visit - especially towns where she is most likely to serve. We will be there October 25th - 31st.
Thanks!

I am going to be attending a conference in Torino Sep 25 - 28 and was considering staying with a member or family just to practice the language and have a local contact. Anybody know of a family that might be interested in hosting someone for a couple of days. I have a 6 bedroom house a couple of miles from BYU and I would be happy to host an Italian family visiting Utah. Email me if you know of anyone. nttrainer@yahoo.com

Does anyone know what has happened to Dave Richter? He was the Assistant to the President at the time of the first combination of the Milano/Padova mission in 1982. We were roomies in college for a while and then he got married and then divorced and then disappeared. Anyone heard anything from him?

Does anyone have the current phone number for the missionaries in San Remo? There is a member there that I knew back in my day, who is now inactive, but is completely alone this Christmas. I'd like to contact the missionaries and see if they could make it a point to visit her. She's a sweet lady but since the death of her husband and son, activity has been hard for her. I'd just like to make sure someone visits her for christmas. I know this is late notice, but I just learned of this about an hour ago.

It's awesome that Stevie is going on a mission. I was there in Winter '91 and they had just been baptized. Stevie was the kid who would always come up and punch you in the gut, Ciro is a stud. We pulled the best greeny prank of all time with that family... I can still hear Fr. Scasso playing the organ in church. Here's to SanRemo and February p-day basketball games in 60 degree weather.

I was in San Remo a little more than a year ago and the branch was doing really well. The Genovese family was very active, Franco and his wife, as well as Marco and Claudia (who have 2 kids). I'm not sure who else was there, but Augusto Bignami was branch president with Andrea Marvaldi as one of his counselors (I think they were baptized in the 90s). There were about 30 active members when I was there, and we visited with Sister Cicogna as much as possible, and had some good experiences with her though while I was there she never came back to activity. I don't know if Ciro Cangialosi was there when you were, but he was reactivated and now his son Steve is going to serve his mission in Rome. The growth has been pretty constant since I've left and there are now two companionships there. Scasso was doing ok when I was there too, he was having some medical problems, but was still playing in church. anyways, point of the story is, I miss San Remo, but its going great!

I finished up in San Remo almost 25 years ago. I went back in November of 1989, and the branch was a tad larger than when I was there in 1982-1983. I'm curious about the branch. How are the Genovese family and the Scassos? I know Livia Cicogna has been coming out much less since the deaths of her son and husband, but she is such a sweet lady. She was my Italian mom. I had to wait till my last city to find her.
If you've been in San Remo recently let me know. I'd love hearing about the members there and seeing some pictures if you have them.

I'm also wondering if anyone knows the whereabouts of a Bruna Canal. She was from Milan, but served a mission in Padova from 1981 to 1982. Did anyone know her after her mission, anyone know what's happened to her? If you know something, let me know, please.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of either Dwight Solomon, David Richter, or Wallace Rose, I'd love hearing about them.
Elder Rose and I served together in San Remo--his first city and my last. I knew both Elders Solomon and Richter in the MTC, and then Elder Richter was the AP at the time the Milan and Padova Missions merged in 1982. Dave and I were also roommates at college, and then he got married, divorced, and then disappeared.
If anyone knows anything about them drop me a line.
Thanks.

I'm wondering if any former companions of Wallace Rose may have any information about his whereabouts. I knew him in San Remo--his first city, and my last.
