About Me
- Carm Gambatese
- Hamden Township, OH, United States
- I am the youngest granddaughter of Antonio & Maria Giovanna Gambatese and the seventh of Augustine and Lillian's eight children. I was born and raised in Cleveland, OH in a section called Little Italy. I have a strong desire that the generations to come are not only aware that in addition to their honorable and distinguised descent from Antonio and Maria Giovanna, that there is nothing you can not do, or be with the foundation and network of a family like ours.
