I was awarded the title of "Gentle Lady" by a group of people who honor the ideals of the Crusaders. In modern times, this group fights corrupt politics, mafioso type behavior, and encourages people to behave in a moral way. I was awarded this by Gianfranco Baudin, who is a native of Trasquera/Varzo. He is the man who has several photos of the Marzo family after they came to America. Looks like we are related. Quite a surprise.
