Rick Malaspina American (Italian descent) Oakland, California, USA My Italian is good I can be reached at rmalaspina@comcast.net

Born in San Francisco, 1951. Grandparents emigrated from Italy (Lombardia) to San Francisco in the 1890s and early 1900s. I was a journalist and later a public affairs official for the Bank of America and the University of California before retiring three years ago. My wife and I visit the Charleston area often, where our grandchildren live. I have just produced a book (mostly photos, with text) called "Italian Oakland" (available on Amazon.com) on the history of the Italian American community of Oakland, a city of 400,000 across the bay from San Francisco. We live in Oakland. I have cousins in the village of Varzi, outside Milan, and have visited there twice in recent years; I first visited while in college 35 years ago. Also have cousins who live in Torino and Firenze. We have spent time in Rome and hope to return soon. I grew up speaking Italian at home and studied it in college.
