My name is Richard Baldi. Both of my maternal grandparents were born in Celenza Valfortore. Their names were Paolo DeSantis and Luisa Cianciulli. Luisa Cianciulli had two brothers; Domenico and Pasquale. Both Luisa and her brother Domenico came to America around the early 1900's. Pasquale stayed in Celenza and married Rosa Montagano. Their granddaughter, Rosaria Dellagrazie lives with her family in Celenza Valfortore today. The descendents of Paolo and Luisa DeSantis lives in many different States in America; New York, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Florida, Nevada, the State of Washington, Texas, and Arizona.

Feel free to contact us by clicking on the contact
us button on the home page. We would be glad to give
advice on visiting Celenza from the U.S. We flew
into Rome, rented a car at the airport and drove
there. It is about a 4 hour trip, give or take. We
stayed at the Relais San Pietro on the edge of town.
Our review is on Trip Advisor.

A Great Guesbook, I was on the web site for Celenza Valfortore, getting info on my Grandparents who were born there. Luigi Fiscelli and Filomena DeZinno, they came to Waterbury, Ct. in 1877 when Luigi was 14 years old and in 1888 sent for his sweetheart, Filomena...They married in 1891, bought land and built their house on Russell street, waterbury ct. My father's sister lived at the homeplace till last year, at the age of 104 years. My Cousin still owns the 3 story house..My father and brother in 1979 visited Celenza, and found the place where Dad's father was born and lived till the age of 14, then left home and came to America. I am now planning on going to Celenza next year..Hopefully, i will be able to communicate, since i do not speak Italian...( take a transalator) lol..any info would be greatly appreciated..Thanks for reading this e-mail.

Words hardly express my appreciation for what you have done here. It's magnifico. I do not speak Italian, so I hope that is close.

Hello and Wow! This is a great resource. My 5th Grade son is researching an Immigration Project and was thrilled to see his surname listed here. We've found manifests from Ellis Island and our pride for our Celenza heritage continues to grow. Thank you!
