My great grand father Giacomo Guardiani was born in Montefino in 1887. Giacomo was apparently in the Police Force in Italy. He and his brothers immigrated to America in 1912. He had several brothers. Domenico, Donato, Luigi and Massemino. Domenico died in a working accident in the USA. Donato had a family and died in the USA. His brother Luigi and Massemino immigrated to America but returned to Italy. My understanding is that Luigi died in World War 1 fighting for Italy, his name is on the plaque in Montefino for Word War 1 soldiers that were killed while serving. Massemino apparently lived to an old age in Castiglione.
I believe there may have also been a sister named Vincenza.
Giacomo's father , Carmine died in 1902 when Giacomo was 15. Giacomo's mother Maria apparently stayed in Montefino as a far as I can tell.
Does anyone know of the old Guardiani family from Montefino?

I'll add that I visited Montefino two weeks ago. I was there during Thursday morning and Friday morning. The town was quiet on Thursday. On Friday there was a funeral. I was stunned at how beautiful the town is.
