It started more than 100 years ago when the three Bianco sisters arrived from Erice, Sicily, with their husbands, Antonina and Gaspar Bica, Rosa and Giovanne Bruno and Diaga and Paul Sgaraglino. This year, the descendants of those original three families gathered in the traditional way, with about 300 people in attendance at the festivities held at the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Ravenna.
At this year's reunion, breakfast was served at 8 a.m. and then the picnic, with set-up starting at 10 a.m. and Siciliano's chicken was a big hit. In traditional Italian style, the tables were loaded with wonderful food with everyone helping themselves.
