Allora, the Simioni adventures continue! I just never know when I might meet one!
Earlier this week I saw on Facebook that
Eduard Simioni (from Cittadella, Italy, but currently working in Germany) was in Las Vegas. I asked if he might come over to California and we were able to work out a plan. Eduard and I had chatted on Facebook a few times but not much. Still, it was exciting to get to meet another Simioni!
Eduard had had an "interesting" trip after having his driver's license stolen (not in the USA) and he had to take Greyhound buses to get around after a conference in Berkeley California.
We ended up meeting in San Diego -- I was able to show him around some of our favorite places in the little time available. We had plans to do more but got stuck on Coronado Island when the bridge was closed due to a potential "jumper"! So we stayed there and enjoyed an American barbecue dinner. Later we were able to drive back to San Diego, and take a drive-by tour of our "Little Italy".
Rick and I were happy to host Eduard at our home, treat him to an American breakfast, show him our gardens, great beaches and Oceanside Pier, before heading over to an Italian restaurant to meet some of our friends for happy hour. We shared some vino and many laughs! Instant friendships!
Time went too fast -- next time will plan something ahead of time! Eduard, it was such a pleasure to meet you! Ci vediamo a presto! Somewhere! -- Nancy (& Rick) Simioni
Eduard, we look forward to anything you can research on Stradella Fratelli Simioni. And if you would like to add any of your Simioni family history, just let me know.

LAS VEGAS: recently I've also chatted with Rosemary Simioni in Las Vegas. We were able to connect Rosemary with Eduard on Facebook while he was in Vegas, but they could not meetup.
