Joe Biden won the election held last week in the US. Biden’s wife, Jill, became the country’s new First Lady. Jill Biden, the third generation representative of an Italian immigrant family. Her relative in the village where his grandfather born in Italy revealed. 64-year-old Caterina Giacoppo, who was instantly popular with the media coverage of the event. She invited Biden family to dinner and said she would make them meatballs.
A relative of US President Joe Biden’s Italian-born wife Jill Biden living in Italy emerged. The new First Lady of the United States, whose name was Jill Jacobs before her marriage, comes from a Sicilian immigrant family.
Her grandfather Domenico Giacoppo was born in the village of Gesso near the city of Messina in 1898.
Domenico was 2 years old when he immigrated to the USA with his father Placido Giacobbo. First, Jill Biden’s great-grandfather, Placido, followed by his wife Angela and his 4 children stepped into Ellis Island on a ship anchored from Naples.
Domenico, one of the four brothers, later decided to change his name, which, like many Italians, was difficult to pronounce in English. Italian Domenico Giacoppo became Dominic Jacobs, whose English was much easier to understand.
Caterina Giacoppo, 64, the only relative of the new First Lady living in the village of Gesso, which has a population of 500. She was unaware of the situation until Antonio Federico, a history enthusiast living in the same village, unearthed the bloodline.
Speaking to the Adnkronos news agency, Federico works on family trees in the village as a hobby. After hearing of Jill Biden during an interview that her grandfather’s name was Domenico Giacoppo. He said that he started to examine the archive records in the Municipality and Church of the village.
Thus, thanks to Federico who reached the immigration document in 1900, Jill Biden’s great-grandfather was born in the village of Gesso. Caterina Giacoppo, her only relative, also became aware of the situation.
Caterina, who lived alone and lived on a poverty pension, suddenly became the center of attention. US President invited his wife to dinner. She told La Stampa Newspaper that she would make meatballs for Jill Biden with her own hands.
