THE ITALIAN
GENEALOGIST

Welcome home to your roots in Italy.
Buongiorno, sono Sylvia!
With over 40 years of experience as an Italian American living and working in Italy, I bring expertise and passion to every project I undertake. My background combines a master’s degree in library and information sciences with three decades of experience in higher education while cultivating a lifelong love for uncovering family histories.
This unique blend allows me to approach each project with a deep understanding of place and a personal touch. I specialize in onsite genealogical research, helping Anglo-American descendants of Italian emigrants reconnect with their roots, particularly in the beautiful region of Tuscany, the place I call home.

​I’m proud to be an active member of respected organizations like the Association of Professional Genealogists, the Italian Parish Records Organization, and the National Genealogical Society.
Staying connected with these groups, both in Italy and the U.S., helps me stay up-to-date on the latest tools and techniques in genealogy. I’m especially excited about how new advancements, like AI, are making it easier than ever to uncover even the most elusive family stories.
