La Nostra Costa (Our Coast) By Ivano Franco Comelli


    The author’s story begins in Nimis, a small agricultural village in the north eastern region of Italy known as Friuli. The year was 1923.  Benito Mussolini and his black-shirted Fascists had just seized power.  The author’s father, Gervasio Comelli, had a choice to make;  either re-enlist in the Army or come to America.  He chose the latter.  Knowing of other immigrants who had chosen the rugged north coast of Santa Cruz County as their new home, Gervasio decided to do the same. Situated a few miles south of San Francisco, Gervasio found work there on the local ranches. The Italians called them rancios and the ranchers were known as ranceri. The coast was referred to as la costa.
