4 Generations of the Giovanelli Family!
Flavia’s Mother (Odetta), Father (Alberto), Grandma (Lucia), brother (Nicola) and sister in-law (Veronica) visit Paris often from their home in Bologna Italy. It is always a treat when the Giovanelli’s visit because you are always guaranteed delicious home-made Italian meals by Odetta and wonderful conversation by all. I have been friends with this special family since the summer of 1991′ — Wow, 21 years…it’s amazing how time fly’s by so fast. I’m happy to say all of the Giovanelli’s have been guests at my home in the US over the past 21 years.
Here are a few pictures of the Giovanelli family. I really like the picture that highlights the 4 generations of Giovanelli ladies at the end of the picture collage.

4 generations of Giovanelli’s (Lucia, Odetta, Flavia, Emilia and Isabella)
At 87, Lucia has the passion of a 27 year old, with terrific stories from living through WWII in Italy to her travels with her sisters. Odetta ran her own company for years before retiring and now lives for traveling the world and being a wonderful Nonna. Alex is in the picture for crowd control and to support the women in his life!
