Lumarzo Homages Frank Sinatra
This weekend Italy will be the theater of great celebrations dedicated to the Italian-American celebrity Frank Sinatra and his family.
The initiative has been launched by the town of Lumarzo, near Genoa.
From this small charming village Natalina Garaventa, known as Dolly, emigrated to the United States. She settled down in Hoboken, New Jearsy, where she married Martin Sinatra. He himself was an Italian immigrant, coming from the town of Lercara Freddi, near Palermo.
After their only child was born, the couple got deeply involved in the local social and political life. In particular Natalina, besides being a midwife, became a really influential exponent of the Hoboken Democratic Party.
Their marriage is now honored through a partnership between Lumarzo and Lercara Freddi, which will join the former by presenting the original copy of Natalina's birth certificate.
For the occasion the promoters have planned a memorable concert: several interpreters will present their own versions of The Voice masterpieces.
