What's in my Name

Names

          My last name is Ceresoli. But the origin of my name doesn’t come from Italy. It comes from a conqueror by the last name of Del Ceres. My distant ancestors lived in a very small village, and one day this conquer came to try and conquer ancient Rome. Well, my origin comes from the north of Italy, which was one of the first places hit. The old conqueror never was successful, except in my old village up in the mountains took the name of Del Ceres. This name was passed on to me through time. 

          My first name, Alberto, on the other hand, comes from my grandfather from my mother’s side of the family. His name was Alberto, also. He unfortunately died at 44 from lung cancer; he smoked a lot in his life time.  He died when my mother was only 11. He was a very honored man. He was noble and a very proper and nice person to be around. My mother passed me his name to carry with pride.
