Hello, my name is Katherine. My great-grandfather, Gaetano Grosso, was born in Celenza Valfortore in 1842 (according to RootsWeb).
He married Marianna Zitella (born 1857 in Torremaggiore).
I really can't find out much about Gaetano. I believe he died before 1900 because my widowed great-grandmother immigrated to New York City around that time with some of her children (she had 8 - one of which was my grandmother, Assunta Grosso.
If anybody knows information on him or know where I can find it out, I would really appreciate your help.
My e-mail address: Itri1@optonline.net.
Sincerely,
Katherine Theiss

Pisani,
My name is Richard Baldi. Both of my maternal grandparents came from Celenza Valfortore. My grandfather was Paolo DeSantis and my grandmother was Luisa Cianciulli. Luisa's parents came to the United States in the early 1900's. Eventually, they returned to Italy but Luisa married and remained in the States. My great grandparents lived at 45 Via Carioli and their names were Bernardino Cianciulli and Maria Grosso. Bernardino had a sister and she married an "Angelacola". Bernardino and Maria had three children; Luisa and Domenico, who lived in the States, and Pasquale who remained in Italy and ran the family farm. I have been able to trace my ancestory back to 1780. Most of them lived in Celenza or the smaller surrounding towns. I have spoke to Gloria Freemon who has also be able to race her ancestory to Celenza and would be interested in contacting others whose ancestors came from Celenza. Ciao. Richard Baldi

I am the 7th child of Silvio Spallone who was born in Celenza Valfortore. I was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1914 and moved to Waterbury, CT when I was three years old. I am here in one of the local libraries in Norfolk, VA with my niece Constance Marcucci who was born in Waterbury, CT. I never had the opportunity and honor to visit my Papa's homeland, but now I can see it via the internet. Thank you so so much for your hard work. Ciao, Assunta

Great website. Loved the pictures. I visited Celenza Valfortore with my dad back in August 2001. His mother, Addolorata Covelli, emigrated from there back in the early 1900's and settled in Waterbury. We showed up in Celenza unannounced...my dad had been there 50 years prior to our visit when he was in the military. What a great greeting we received from everyone in town. Met lots of cousins, aunts, uncles and even the mayor of the town. We're planning to go back at some point. I have town pictures if you need them, please email. Ciao. Dave Pettinicchi

A rough translation of Mr. Bruno's message:
My grandparents and my father are from the town. If anyone of the family reads this, I hope you contact me.
