Giorgetta Gasperini
Giorgetta Gasperini was a pioneer, who never viewed herself as such. Giorgetta was a confident, risk-taking, successful businesswoman, long before it was “okay” to be one. She grew up both in Italy and the US, which while not uncommon in the first part of the 20th century, was still a unique life. As a citizen of Rome, she always proudly considered herself a true Romana, regardless of the fact that she spent most of her life in the US.
Being fluent in Italian and English, Giorgetta had a very productive career in the travel industry; first working for Green Stamps (back when they offered tours as perks), then Ford Motor Company, and then as an independent travel agent for the last years of her career. Giorgetta was very proud, deservedly so, of her ability to organize tours, solve problems, anticipate issues and make sure everyone had a great time.
She will be missed and remembered.
She traveled the world (including China), long before it was popular, and lived in wonderful places, including Rome, Italy; Chicago, IL; Washington, DC; and Santa Rosa, CA. She retired to an incredible condo in Palm Coast, Florida, facing the Atlantic, with dolphins leaping through the surf.
Giorgetta is survived by nephews, nieces and cousins. Her remains will be interred in Frankfort Cemetery next to her beloved mother, Mamie Pardi Gasperini. She will be missed and remembered.
