Attached is a Pesavento family crest that I received a few years ago from a Gian Cristiano Pesavento from San Remo. He was an elderly gentleman who was originally from Asiago and served in the resistance effort during WWII and was very proud of it. I don't have at my fingertips what his family's "supernome" was. Therefore, unsure if this crest is a universal Pesavento crest or a specific clan one. We had conversed back and forth for several years and I actually met him and his wife about 15 years ago in San Remo on one of my trips to Italy.
This is my first time on this site. However, reading many of the older posts, I share the same family history as Kristin Boselli Knight and have shared info with her in the past. My family is the one that owns the monument business in Scranton, PA. My brother John now runs it as my father, also John, has retired. I live in the Washington, DC area (Vienna, VA). Our clan/supernome is "Stin/Sten". However, I believe we also have ties to "Bais/Base" and "Pasc" (sp??). We also have connections to Rigoni's as my great-grandmother was a Rigoni.
I can be reached at
paul.pesavento@verizon.net if anyone has any questions. It has been over ten years, but I have been to Asiago on at least three ocassions. I have visited both the church and "communi" bldg while there. I was able to get family records back to the late 1700's even though, as some earlier posters pointed out, many were distroyed during WWI. I also visited nearby Bosco and saw, unconfirmed, the home where my grandfather was born before leaving for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area when he was 5 with his parents and older sister.
