Should I visit Italian relatives

My paternal grandfather and grandmother were from Avezzano in the Abruzzi region and came to the US around 1903. My 16-year-old boy and 11-year-old girl (half-Chinese by ethnicity. 1/4 Italian) want to visit Italy in 2018. I visited Italy about 20 years ago (Florence) and had a great time. My question is, with so much time gone by, would I be welcomed or considered weird, if I tried to visit my Italian relatives next year. My grandfather had a relatively uncommon name, so they won't be hard to find. I should also add that I don't speak Italian.
