My great grandparents were from the Abruzzo Region I am working on a family tree. Looking for information on Frunzi, DiGiacomo, Gallichio, Pontarelli. I think Frunzi was from Bagnara, Pontarelli was from LaRochetta, Gallichio was from Bari. Any info, please contact me. Italy is a beautiful country. We visited in July and we are coming back next September.

Hello I'm from Pratola Peligna and I inadvertently came across this site. It is wonderful and I would like to communicate with anyone from the Abruzzi region particularly those who come from the Valle Peligna area.
Congratulations to those whose insight led to the creation of this cyber space.
