My ancestor

Wow. So cool. Luigi Interguglielmi was my great-great-grandfather. He had two daughters, Frances and Mamie. He was a widower. I am trying to gather more information on him. He’s buried in one of the St Louis cemeteries.

Ruts!

Decades of steel rimmed wheels have left some serious ruts in the stone. At least, I assume that's what they are.

Son of Eugenio?

In Sicily (Italy) there was a photographer Eugenio Interguglielmi (1850-1911), I could not find if the two were related. At some moment in time the L. Interguglielmi Photography Studio has been located at New 933 Royal St., between Dumaine and St. Philip.

Hold your nose

A fascinating scene to look at, but I'm glad I don't have to smell it.

Nice name!

Having studied Italian and married into an Italian family I take a strange pleasure in being able to pronounce that auspicious surname with ease!
