Looking for something to watch now that the Olympics are over? Youtube has some great  videos highlighting Pescasseroli and Opi. To access closed captioning just click on the gear at the bottom of the screen, click on subtitle, click on auto translate and select English. Leave the volume up. It’s great fun to hear the video narratated in our ancestors beautiful Italian language. Click this link for a 7 minute tour of Pescasseroli.   

The second video that I found is almost 30 minutes and packed full of information about Pescasseroli. The narrator interviews many noteworthy people of the community including the parish priest at the church of Saints Peter and Paul. It’s a joy to see the detailed stained glass and statues where our ancestors were baptized, married and worshiped. Click here to watch the video. 

This last clip is a 6 minute video of Opi, Italy. My great great grandmother Filomenia Ursitti was born in this town in 1837. Click here to watch the video.

Finally in 2024 a movie was filmed in Opi and Pescasseroli show us what winters might be like. It’s called Un Monde A Parte (A World Apart). You can find it on Youtube. Click here for the trailer.
