Dear Dad,
Do you remember when I caught fire to the palm tree just outside the kitchen? Do you remember finding the bat in your bedroom shutters the day of our Halloween party? Do you remember the persimmon tree out front and Denise used to eat them raw? Signore Lodi's house was a paradise and it brought me the best memories of Italy. When people ask me where is home, I always think of Via Bugano #8. Thank you for finding us a beautiful, sunny, and magical place to grow up.
What's a place that will always remind you of Frank? Why is it special for you?
Vicenza: 1966-1975. After Denise was born, we moved from Nuermburg, Germany to Italy with Grams (Dad's mother). For several months we lived on base in a very small apartment. I was 9 years old. My cat, ran away and got caught in a tree and the soldiers from Camp Ederle had to come rescue it several times. Finally in the fall, Dad found Signore Lodi's villa on #8 Via Bugano in Debba just before the historical floods of November 1966. The villa was on top of the hill. The rats from the river had reached our attic and one fell into our water tank. There was a tower with one room the caretaker used for storage. It was very old. During Halloween, we decorated it like a haunted house. In the early 1970's, the Italians did not celebrate Halloween like we did in America. In the attic of the main house, Mark and I went exploring through Mr. Lodi's old furniture and we found a Nazi flag when the German's had occupied it during WWII. The farmer Giulio lived down the street and provided fresh chickens for Mom to cook (which Rita, our housekeeper, actually cooked)! The Noventa family lived down the street, Ricardo, Dario and LIlliana. Today (2025) Dario still lives there with his Mother. Dad loved that property. It was a paradise: persimmon, apricot, cherry, plum and peach trees on the land. There were truffles near Miranda's house which she used to bring in a pig up to dig them up. It had hazelnut, palm trees (which I caught fire one time), and huge oak trees where Mark and I built a tree house. In 1973 Dad had me negotiate to buy it from Mr. Lodi. Mom wanted to move back to the states so the deal never went through. A six foot stone wall surrounded the property. We had to open the heavy green metal gate every time we went in and out of the property. I've taken my children to see #8 Via Bugano in 2007 and I went to visit again in 2025. That gate is still intact. Back in 1974, Signore Lodi ended the lease because he wanted to live there with his own family and we moved to the villa in Nanto where the rooms were all dark colors. We repainted every room white and Dad trimmed all the trees back so we could drive up the front road. We lived in Nanto only one year before Dad got transferred to Livorno, Camp Darby.
