Owner of Olde Country Collectibles of Fort Dodge, Iowa, taken with a view of Barga, Tuscany, Italy, in the background. Barga was the birthplace of my paternal great grandfather, Salvatore Rafaello Cristafano Brogiotti, who emigrated to America in 1844. In 1862 he became a Naturalized US citizen and changed his name to Christopher Columbus Brogotti. He and my great grandmother were the parents of 13 children, 10 girls and 3 boys.
