User:Calogero C. Villareale

A.K.A Charles C. Villareale. Calogero was my grandfather's name and since it translates to Charles, it was my given name by my parents out of respect to my father's father, a Sicilian tradition followed by my family for many generations. I chose to use it as my user name for the translation of the Italian Wikipedia article Gioacchino La Lomia to the English Wikipedia article Gioacchino La Lomia for sentimental reasons.

My parents taught me of Padre Gioacchino as a child through the song we recited [of which I have linked an audio clip of the song in the article as well as the lyrics and its translation] and I have done the same with my children. Hopefully the stories of Padre Gioacchino will live on with each generation.--Calogero C. Villareale 14:23, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
