Hello,
I am researching my family and my grandfather Michael Gianotti had a relative named Carlo Gianotti who was a boxer. I think this may be him. My grandfather lived in Weed, CA and in Sacramento.
Are you related to Carlo? I am having trouble finding too much about my grandfather because he was born in Brazil as his father was working there on the railroad although they were from Italy.
Thanks for any information you can give me.
