Sailing in the endless maze of the Web in search of curiosity, I came across one day upon the website of the Maccagno family (now Macagno) originally from Villafalletto (CN), but now, some of the many descendants residing in the United States in the city of Las Vegas.

Browsing the site that tells the story and contains images that  images of the ancestors of this family, I managed to find the delivery  address of Ms Karen wife of Mr. Gil Macagno, last descendant of a branch of the aforementioned family.

I contacted Mrs. Karen Macagno via e-mail at once,  and we agreed to talk on the Internet.

From here grew a nice friendship as we talked frequently via "instant messenger" (commonly called chat), which allowed me, in time, to learn more about  the history and the events of this family settled at the end of the nineteenth century in North America.

The stories of Ms Karen Macagno are very interesting and exciting, both for the historical period in which they were held, and for the personal affairs of  the individual players.

I decide then, with the constant help of Karen, to put together all the news that she had collected over the years and to draw a kind of story that  I found more and more interesting and exciting.

   The texts that have reported have been translated from English and therefore  have a certain syntax typical of Anglo-Saxon language. I deliberately tried to report them closely as possible in order not to lose the sense of the phrase that otherwise could have been interpreted incorrectly.
