How wonderful to find your post. ...Hello Michelle,<br /><br />How wonderful to find your post. I am writing a trilogy on my mother's life growing up during WWII in Northern Italy. My story also recounts her immigrating to Canada on the Saturnia, March 3, 1956 bound for Halifax. Did the film by Ferdinando and Lila every get made? I would love more information on that. Do you know that day your father was on the ship? You can reach me at lganzin@mac.com<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />Linda Linda Ganzinihttp://lindaganzini.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158148650762334332.post-64009257941341180562010-08-10T09:30:18.739-04:002010-08-10T09:30:18.739-04:00Thanks Mike, I will pass this on to Ferdinando and...Thanks Mike, I will pass this on to Ferdinando and Lilia the filmmakers as well.

My father was waiting for my mother brother and me. He had left my mother when she was eight months pregnant with me. Now I was to see him. My mother showed me a picture of my father as we landed. I still remember that day. The excitement as we finished an eleven day cruise in which I was sea sick everyday. I have a picture of people from L'Auila and my mother and brother in front of a life saver with the ships name on it. I'm the little boy on the right with a coat and his pajamas under the coat.<br /><br />Bruno SantiniUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08513986793371097453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158148650762334332.post-43906823677212325562009-12-02T15:54:17.830-05:002009-12-02T15:54:17.830-05:00Dear Chris, when you return to our planet ...
