                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 30, 2010

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
the Bolzan Family's 6th reunion, which will be held in Cleveland, Ohio 
from July 31 to August 6, 2010 and to acknowledge the family bonds that 
span generations and continents.
  Over 100 descendants of Benvenuto Antonio and Mathilde De Lorenzi 
Bolzan will gather from around the world in Cleveland, Ohio to 
celebrate their unbreakable bonds and unwavering support for each 
other. In a time of widespread use of cell phones, email, and video 
communication via the internet, it is important to recognize a family 
that prioritizes in-person interaction with family members.
  Of the six original siblings in this family, one remained in Italy 
while the others emigrated to Argentina, Luxembourg, France, and the 
United States. As a result, previous family reunions have taken place 
across Europe, including Italy during World War II, in France, and in 
Luxembourg. Many family members have chosen to extend their stays to 
include visits to other locations around the United States. In addition 
to sharing their fondest memories and exchanging news and other current 
events, the family has several tours planned during their visit, 
including those that will showcase Cleveland's cultural and artistic 
locations. I would like to particularly recognize Robert Milluzzi of 
Brecksville, Ohio, who is in charge of all of the arrangements for this 
memorable event.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in celebrating the 
Bolzan Family on the occasion of their reunion. May they continue this 
tradition that celebrates family, love, and commitment to each other 
for years.
