Researching Baia e Latina Campania and Pontecorvo Lazio

Ariana Franco discusses starting her research in 2020 and turning her passion into a genealogy business. I began researching my family history in late 2020 as a way to investigate where I came from, who I came from, and to connect with family. The more I found the more inspired I have been to tell the stories. My personal family stories have transported me through 20th century New England back to 19th century Italy. My genealogical research balances the scale of imagination and information found in documents. As an artist, I have always been fascinated by people’s interactions and experiences in spaces. Themes of my personal art returns to artifacts that represent personality thus identifying a relationship between object and person. Those who have passed into the spirit world have become ethereal; symbolized as moths inside kaleidoscopes. You can find Ariana here www.arianafranco.com
