Abruzzo Genealogy was founded in 2014 by Emidio Spinogatti to provide high-quality genealogical research and guided ancestry tours in Abruzzo, Italy. Emidio has over a decade of experience in genealogy and a passion for uncovering his region’s rich history.
Emidio Spinogatti, born and raised in Abruzzo, became interested in his family’s centuries-long history in the region from an early age. After graduating with a degree in Electronic Engineering and working for years as an Information Systems Analyst, Emidio decided to devote himself full-time to genealogy and local history. He is a qualified hiking guide in Abruzzo and provides insightful guided tours for those looking to connect with their ancestral roots.
