My paternal grandfather was born in Celenza in February 1889 and named Michele Angelicola. He had no brothers and three sisters, born in Celenza, who became Mrs. Joseph Codianne, Mrs. Dominic Spallone, and Mrs. Joseph Marzano. Michele's parents were Giuseppe Angelicola and Maria Domenica Iacaruso(Jacaruso). My paternal grandmother was born in Carlantino in 1887 to Francesco Innaimo and Sarh Pirro. They lived on Bank Street, South Leonard Street and eventually 455 Congress Avenue. They had 5 children Michela(Kline), Joseph, Flora, Mary and my father Francis A. He married the daughter of Antonio Iacovesso and Carmela Cipriano, named Josephine. Apparently there are Angelicolas throughout America, Canada, Argentina and still some in Celenza Valfortore. I wish them all well.

Haven't been on the site for a while. Interesting to learn that many Italians from Celenza Valfortore migrated to Waterbury Ct.

My grandfather Vincenzo Recchio, on my mothers side, lived in West Haven Ct. I wonder if he ever new them?

..un caro saluto a tutti i celenzani nel mondo...volevo chiedere se qualche amico di Celenza che vive a New York avesse la possibilità di farmi acquistare il pettorale per l'iscrizione alla maratona di New York 2010

What a wonderful site you've created. My husband & I visited
Cianciulli cousins in Celenza Valfortore in Dec. 1999. We were
there for only a short time, but it was a wonderful experience & we
still exchange Christmas cards.

Many thanks to this website. My wife and I are going to Italy next week. We are visiting Celenza to see where my grandfather Pasquale was born. I used your suggestions for the Pagina Bianco, sent a photo with a letter (in Italian, using Google Translate), and we have a Facebook conversation with a cousin. We'll stay at the Relais-Celenza Hotel. I want to see the church and pay my respects to my heritage. It'll be fun to meet my "cousins." If you are an "Iamele", send me your email and I'll write to you.

Hello,
My great-grandparents, Vincenzo Grosso and Luisa Iannantuoni
were from Celenza and nearby San Marco in Catola . I've searched
the Ellis Island records but haven't had any success, although I did
find my mom's grandparents records (they were from Campo
Basso, Molise). Any suggesstions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
