Club Members Meet in the Val di Rabbi

Mike, Ramona & Father Alberto Mengon in front of the church in Piazzola.

Ramona Antonioni Krausnick and her husband Mike visited Trentino last September to celebrate their 20th anniversary, as well as the 20th anniversary of two of her cousins and the 75th birthday of another. Her cousins all live in Salorno, just north of the Trentino border. It is one of only five mainly Italian-speaking towns in the Province of Bolzano. The area is well known for its vineyards of Schiava, Teroldego, Pinot Grigio, etc.
Ramona’s relatives supply Mezzacorona Winery with grapes.
Ramona’s father was born in the Val di Rabbi, which is in the northwest corner of Trentino, just past the Val di Sole. Click here to see its location in Trentino. More than half of the scenic Val di Rabbi is within the Stelvio National Park, the only national
park in Trentino. Father Alberto Mengon is also from the Val di Rabbi, and he planned a trip to the area at the same time Ramona and Mike were going. They met in the
village of Piazzola and had a delightful time together

September Gathering

We send a big shout out of appreciation to Ralph and Rosie Yob for organizing a super
event at their residence in Menlo Park in September. There were several delicacies on
hand to tempt the palate. As usual, Rosie’s exquisite canederli and Tarcisio Pedrotti’s
divine strudel were devoured quickly to the dismay of those who acted too slowly.
Matteo Baceda’s parents were visiting from Trento at the time, and Matteo’s mother
whipped up a gigantic pot of very tasty crauti, enough for many to take home.

Grazie Mille 🙂
