Thanks to the combination of memory, Google Earth and local knowledge of an Italian Taxi driver we found our way to our ancestor's summer pasture in the mountain range above Tirano. We were fortunate not only to be blessed finding the place but doing so in absolutely glorious sunny Spring weather. The view from the summer pasture is stunning looking over the Valtalleni Valley towards Lake Como and the Bernina Pass into Switzerland. The Borserio's stone summer house remains but is fast falling into disrepair. A real shame after centuries sitting in this beautiful location. A magnificent way to bring to an end the exploration of Gary and cousin Joan's Italian roots.
