Literally I need to make so much money someday to afford to get all the genealogy stuff I want to. I found a few towns in Italy my family is from and if I just had the money to pay somebody in Italy to search the local records I could have so much more information than I do right now.

Incidentally, if any of my followers know any Italian dialects that could be understood in Casignana, Reggio di Calabria, Calabria; Simbario, Catanzaro, Calabria; Cirella, Cosenza, Calabria; Benestare, Reggio di Calabria, Calabria; Tirano, Sondrio, Lombardia; or San Martino Valle Caudina, Avellino, Campania and would be down to help translate some emails or tell me a little about these places, I’d love to talk to you! I’d pay for the translations based on what you think is fair. Once I get paid I’ll have enough to do that, just not to pay a professional genealogist in Italy.

If you're interested in ancient history and archaeology, the Roman Villa of Casignana is a must see on anyone’s bucket list of things to do in Calabria. It is along the Statale 106, the state route which runs along the Calabrian Ionian coast. 

Mosaics showing four feminine figures riding monsters in the shape of a lion,a tiger, a horse and a bull, are rich in colour and clarity. The unearthed evidence, the precious marbles, painted stuccos and mosaics all add up to lavishly decorated interiors suggesting that this Roman Villa housed royalty, making it a historically significant site and a must see for all visitors to this area.
