<==== ミラノから。でも、今アメリカに住んでいます。
<==== I am from Milano, but now I live in USA.
Triangle Lecco-Milano-Roma...ok sorry, that was too rude :)

~を持っていく means bring. (get something and go)
持ちにいく is not proper usage.

verb+て行(い)く = verb and (after that) go or come.

家にパンを持っていく
You got the bread and go home.

So your Japanese is correct.
