April 14, 1909 "Thomas Giacomini arrived in Sterling last Wednesday from seven months spent mid scenes of his youth at Villa di Chiavenna, Lombardia, Itaiy. And he came not alone, having on the eve of his departure for his home in this country been united in marriage to Miss Jennie Tam of that place, the marriage occurring March 23. Mr. Giacomini's bride, whom he had known in his boyhood days, is a niece of Mrs. A. Giacomini of Sterling, and a cousin of Mrs. W. B. Giacomini; she also has other cousins here. Mr. Thomas Giacomini had not been to his mother's home since coming to this country fourteen years ago and he found many changes there. His father died several years ago, and as the estate had never been settled, the trip from which he has just returned was partly to adjust matters in that connection. The winter there, Mr. Giacomini says, was delightfuliy mild and added to the enjoyableness of his visit. The Giacomini estate lays on the border of Switzenand, some of the property being in that country. The farms there are small, generally, and intensive cultivation is practiced. The growing season is about like ours here and about everything is grown there that is grown in this country. Wages are much higher there now than formerly, and the cost of living has increased in proportion. Land is measured by the meter (about a yard) and is worth $l5O an acre counted in United States money. Mr. and Mrs. Giacomini left Lombardia on March 24, sailing on the 27th, and reaching New York on April 3. They traveled fifteen days altogether in reaching Sterling. Going over Mr. Giacomini said only thirteen days were required to make the trip. Mr. and Mrs. Giacomini wil either build and make their home in Sterling or reside on the ranch."
