In the main section, they speak with Martin's mom who recalls an extraordinary trip to Italy in 1958. Her journey begins innocently enough with a can of mushrooms from Kennett Square, Pennsylvania which ultimately brings her to the funeral of Pope Pius XII.#Prosciutto #KennettSquare #Mushrooms #PopePiusXII #Vaticano #Ortona #saintthomasapostle #papalfuneral #CalabriaPorkStore #Angelina's #italiansausage #Vatican #Genoa #StThomas #Italianfood #ItalianAmericanfood #ItalianAmericanStories #ItalianCulture
