But once my grandmother and all her sisters had passed, the shameful secret was out: my great grandfather, Pasquale Orzo, was born out of wedlock sin 1870 to Filomena Scrivano in the southern province of Calabria. In English, the name Scrivano means "scribe," but in this book, I take on the job of scribe for my great great grandmother, who chose to channel her star-crossed love story through me after I decided to visit the tiny southern Italian town of Paola where she lived. In this story, I finally reveal the identity of the mysterious man that my relatives have been dying to know for decades. For years, the rumors flew: was Filomenas lover a nobleman from the north of Italy? Or was he a rich businessman? Or a member of the Swiss Guard, the elite military assigned to the Pope?</p><p>My story reveals the identity of the man who is responsible for producing the enormous Orzo clan which numbers many hundred people from Connecticut to California. Finding Filomena may be fiction, but it was intended to restore dignity to my ancestors reputation and also, to obliterate the endless shame that was handed down from Pasquale Orzo to my grandmother and her five sisters, as well as to their offspring. The big surprise for me, the writer, is that by the time I finished composing my great great grandmothers story, I find myself free of the shame which haunted me for most of my life.</p><p>Besides solving the mystery surrounding my great great grandfather, Finding Filomena also solves another mystery: A little-known fact is that for centuries in Italy (and in all other Catholic countries in Europe) illegitimate babies were routinely taken from their mothers and housed in ospizios, foundling homes where they usually perished because hired wet nurses transmitted disease from one infant to another.</p><p>Hundreds of thousands of babies died because of this monstrous practice. In 1870 in the region of Calabria (Paola0 where Pasquale Orzo was born, a horrifying 93 percent of the illegitimate babies died, leaving us asking the question: How did the "miraculo" (miracle) happen?
