The Hollywood story of Marisa Tomei

[post_page_title]She appeared on a show to uncover a family secret[/post_page_title]
Who Do You Think You Are? on NBC. In 2012, she traveled to the island of Elba and Tuscany to get to the bottom of the 100-year-old murder of Francesco Leopoldo Bianchi, her great-grandfather. “Her mother’s grandfather had been murdered in 1910. He supposedly had been shot in a bar, with the cause being fooling around with someone else’s woman or that he owed money to somebody. Tomei’s mother also wondered what had happened to her grandmother after Bianchi was killed and how that affected her father, who was 2 years old at the time, and uncle, who was only 1. Addie had a family tree on Ancestry.com, which was prominently displayed. The tree showed Bianchi and Adelaide Angiola Canovaro, Addie’s grandmother. Both sides of the family were from Tuscany, Italy.”
