Both Leon Radomile and Bob Masullo were quick to question that the 
Mondavis were from Sicily, as the author had stated in the Article 
"Mondavi opens 'COPIA': Center for Food, Wine & the Arts".

Leon later sent me the following verification after checking with the Mondavi 
Co. 

"Robert Mondavi's parents, and Rosa came from the province of 
Ancona in the region of Marche, on the Adriatic Sea.

Cesare was born in the ancient city of Sassoferrato, and Rosa a few hillsides 
away, in the village of Colmeroni.

They were married in Sassoferrato as well."

contributions of Italians and Italian Americans over the last 3,000 years
in five major categories. A newly expanded and bilingual Second Edition,
