Jill Biden originally from Messina.
Her cousin: "Come, I'll make you baked pasta and cutlets"
The family of the new first lady was originally called Giacoppo, a surname later anglicized to Jacobs
The wife of Joe Biden, 46th president of the United States, Jill Tracy Jacobs has Sicilian roots to be precise in Gesso, a small hamlet in the hills of Messina. The family was originally called Giacoppo, a surname later anglicized to Jacobs.
This is confirmed by a document attesting the departure from the village of the first lady's grandfather, Domenico, on May 19, 1900, when she was just one year old, together with her brothers and her mother. The only relative left now in Gesso is a distant cousin, eighth grade of Biden's wife, Caterina Giacoppo, 64: "I would be very happy if Mrs. Jill came here and I would like to meet her - he declared - we are ready to do a nice party all over the country, if she comes I'm ready to cook baked pasta, roasted cutlets and whatever she likes. I really hope to embrace you ”.
Even Mayor Cateno De Luca said he was ready to host President Biden and his wife in Messina to show the first lady the village from which his grandfather left 120 years ago and the traditions of his homeland.
