Porcelli Residence This is where my Aunt Rosetta and Uncle Peppino live. It is more of family compund than a regular single-family dwelling. Also living here are the families of my Aunt and Uncle's children. The house can comfortably house about 15 people, has a 7-car garage, and sits on about 1 acre of landscaped land. [enlarge]
