Piemontese historian needs your help Giancarlo Libert lives in Torino and works, by day, in the financial sector. But his passion is the history of Piedmont and he maintains a special love for the story of the emigration of Piemontesi and the Piemontese diaspora. A fine historian, Libert is always working hard on projects and has published many monographs. Lately, he's asking a lot about Piemontesi in New York and especially about the societies they started, like the Fubinese Society and groups formed by emigrants from Casorzo, Asti and Castell'Alfero. He's also interested in New York City's Mount Olivet Cemetery, where many Piemontesi are buried. If you have any information about these groups or about emigrants from Piemonte, please contact him at the email address below. No matter how trivial you may think the info is, it may be just what Giancarlo needs to point him in the right direction. If you can write to him in Italian, that's best, but if not, English will do. trifula@libero.it  |
