Terrossa



This is a photo I took of Terrossa, a frazione of Roncà in the east side of Verona Province, nearer to Vicenza than Verona. This is the concentration of Tirapelle's in the world, and also the home of my Dal Ben ancestors.

The open space in the foreground is the playground of the church/school where my father attended in the 1893-1906 period; I can see the back of grandfather's home/business just beyond the playground, and the condos beyond grandfather's home are being built on acreage which he owned. Across the street from the condo's is the auto dealership owned by my second cousin and her sons. Grandfather died in 1952 at 98 years.
