Castelvetere

Season 2 Episode 206 | 26m 46s

Ten percent of Americans have some Italian blood and many of them could qualify for Italian citizenship by birth. Kathy visits the ancestral village of her maternal great-grandfather – Castelvtere sul Calore in the region of Campania– to trace her roots and see if she can qualify for citizenship by blood line. Kathy also honors the town’s patron saint Madonna delle Grazie. Plus more!
