I am trying to find my Italian roots. I have documents for my grandfather but I want to find his parents and grandparents.
I have names in my grandmother's line but I need help to validate my findings. What sources can I use while I am in Italy.
Assisi (Umbria)
Assisi is a town of Italy in the Province of Perugia in the Umbria region, on the western flank of Monte Subasio.
It was the birthplace of St. Francis, who founded the Franciscan religious order in the town in 1208, and St. Clare (Chiara d'Offreducci), the founder of the Poor Sisters, which later became the Order of Poor Clares after her death. The 19th-century Saint Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows was also born in Assisi.
UNESCO collectively designated the Franciscan structures of Assisi as a World Heritage Site in 2000.
Assisi has had a rich tradition of art through the centuries and is now home to a number of well known artistic works.

@tonya_baltimore asks:
Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for where to find an Italian/English speaking caretaker for a property we're buying in Umbria?
@joncoh asks:
Hi there - it's time to renew our house/contents insurance, and yet again Intasure have bumped up their premium, this time by nearly 20%, despite the fact that we have never claimed, and they have also removed earthquake cover.
