I knew very well the tenor Giovanni Borracelli, lived in the same building in the '80s. I would like to contact Mr. Carlo Borracelli, which I think is a relative, I would like the town of Grosseto dedicate the name of a street Giovanni Borracelli. I am grateful in advance.

I known your grandmother, the daughter of Giovanni Borracelli. I do not remember her name but I'm sure he lived in the US, I think in Salt Lake City. He had a brother, Gianfranco, who was buried in the same cemetery of his father, in Grosseto. Gianfranco I think he had two children, a male who lived in Paris in the 1980s and a female living with his mother in Africa.
