Went to my Dad's home town of Capestrano, and decided to visit the little village of Fontecchio (being my surname). The area and people are beautiful. Food is fantastic, and an experience I strongly recommend. It is truly a lovely region of Italy.

nsn > New Alexandria, Pa. U.S.A. I love this website, and read almost everything when I receive it. My husband comes from Monteodorisio and we went back there in 1998 it was Tommaso's first visit since he left as a 12 year old, and it took 47 years for him to be able to return. My love affair with Italy started then and I have been back twice since then, but tom has only been back once again. and I am looking for an excuse to return this year. i stayed in Fresagrandinaria with relatives in 1999 and loved the tranquility of the area. i am an Australian who speaks some Italian, but feel that I am an italian as I love everything about the people, their food, wine culture and there is nothing I cant praise enough about Italy. There are many members of the Sciascia family in Perth Western Australia, and all of the children have done well and all own their own homes and businesses, which is amazing when you think that Tom/s father arrived in Australia after the 2nd world war with nothing and 3 years later owned a property and bought his family out to join him, and they have thrived here, but still retain their Italian traditions. Thank for the great website, it has provided me with constant news of my beloved Italy./ And who knows, I may get back this year, dreams can come true!!!!!!!!!!

I am a decendant of Concetta Cafaina Ciofani who was married to Francis (Frank) Sbriglia. They settled in Reno, Nevada, where my great grandfather was a stonemason. My Ciofani ancestors are from Ortucchio. I am still in search of additional information about the Sbriglia's (Pedivigliano, Consenza, Italy) and would appreciate communicating with anyone who may have additional pieces of the puzzle.
Cousins, if you are searching for Ciofani's or Sbriglia's, please contact me. We may be able to assist each other with family information.
Thank you.
