I bought a silver when I was visiting family outside Naples. Loved it. So I bought a gold one! It is meaningful and part of my Neapolitan heritage. My Inglese family were from Avellino to Ellis Island to Weehawken, NJ. My grandfather was a mason. He built the bridges of NY, NJ and Boston. Later worked for the railroad. The East Coast route from Hoboken, NJ to Bennington, VT.
