Comments: My father was Nicola Caperchione who was born in Castropignano in 1900. He emigrated to Canada with
his 2 brothers, Anunzio, and Antonio, married and settled
in Toronto, Ontario I believe there were 13 children in
his family. I am interested in anyone by the name of
Caperchione living in Castropignano to investigate my
heritage. My father died in 1942 at the age of 42. I
would very much like to travel to his home village.

Comments: Ciao famiglia,
siamo la famiglia Pesce ma nostra nonna si chiama Ermelinda Sardella di Castropigniano. Nel anno 1937 lei si sposó con Nicola Macoretta dallo steso paese.
D´ improviso abbiamo incontrato la vostra pagina web di Castropgniano. Siccome voi siete dalla famiglia Sardella siamo stati molto contenti di aver incontrato questa traccia di famiglia.
Per raccontare un po' dalla nostra storia vi comuniciamo che Ermelinda e Nicola sono salpati il 5 di febbraio dal anno 1951 da Napoli e sono arrivati qua in Buenos Aires quasi un mese dopo. La sua casa a Castropigniano era la casa 9. Ermelinda era la figlia di Maddalena M. Nicolas e di Domenico Sardella che si sono sposati nel 1899. Nicola è figlio di Raffaele e Colette M. Giuseppa. Tutti e due vivono con noi a San Martin (Buenos Aires, Argentina).
Ci piacerebbe molto se potete scriverci, forse siamo della stessa famiglia.
Distinti saluti

I'm not sure if you received my guestbook sign in.
My paternal grandfather was Arcangelo Casilli and my grandmother was Carmela Paternostro. They came to this country in the early 1900's from Campabasso. My grandfather was a train engineer. My maternal granfather was Dominic Linfante and my grandmother was Clementina Monaco. They too, came here in the 1900's from possibly San Lupo. My grandfather was a shoemaker. My grandfather added another "s" in the name many, many years ago. The name has been Cassilli. I would love to hear from anyone with knowledge of my family roots. Thank You.

Comments: WHAT'S MY FAMILY'S LAST NAME?
Bonjourno,
Well at least i think my last name is Rivando. There's a
whole controversy over what my family's last name really
is. We cannot find this last name anywhere in the world.
After much, much research, we could only come up with the
possibility of our last name being Rivante. This being the
closest spelling to the name Rivando on the immigration
sheets from when my great grandparents arrived.
I'm the grandson of Frank and Donetta(Onie) Rivando.
And I believe my grandparents names are Alessio Paolone
and Mrs.Sergenese. Don't quote me on that.
thank-you

were all born in the beautiful town of Castropignano. My
family's names are Macoretta and D'Onforio.
My boyfriend and I toured Europe in the Summer of 1999 and
had a wonderful experince seeing where my roots come
from. It is such a breath taking place, driving through
the mountains and enjoying every minute of the journey. I
hope that one day my parents will have the opportunity to
go back to their home town and see all the beauty it
holds.
I am very grateful that this websight exsists so that my

Comments: I was born in catropignano. I came to Canada in January 1964 with my mother Nicolia Marinelli and my sister Carmela Marinelli we were being reunited with my father Vittorio Marinell and my other sister Addolorata Marinelli.
We arrived in Halifax on January 20, 1964, I still have the passport with a date stamp on it. It was grey and cold and we had another 2 to 3 days of train travel before reaching Toronto. We travelled by ship "The Saturnia" must have been on her last voyage across the Atlantic, it was the beginning when air travel was becoming more popular and economical.
I have been back to Castropignano only once in 1993. I was sadned to it almost a ghost town, certainly not the way I remember it, nevertheless still very enchanting and picturesque little Italian village, lots of fresh air and happy people. I met with some people I knew when I grew up and my only cousin still living in town Maria Pizzacalla.
I have so many stories to tell, but maybe in another message I will furnish you with more stories and pleasant memories.

Comments: My husband and I visited Castropignano in 1997. It was a
very emotional trip for me. All my life I heard stories
about where my grandparents (Romolo Stefanelli and Carmela
Ricardella) and my father (Ruben Stefanelli )were born.
Castropignano was just as beautiful as I had imagined. The
people were warm and friendly. I hope one day to go back
and visit. If any one has any pictures ( that I could make
copies of) of either the Stefanelli or Ricardella families,
I would be extremely grateful. I am trying to find a
picture of my great grandmother. I think her name was
Pasqualina Borsella. (She was married to Ruben Stefanelli).
They would have been born in the late 1800's. Hope to hear
from someone soon! Lorna

Comments: I am writing from Grimsby Ontario Canada which is located 40
kms from Niagara. My parents are Liberato Panunto and Elena
Mancini(Panunto)which were both born in Castropignano. My
father moved to Canada in the early 50's and my mother
arrived in the late 60's. After many years of hearing about
this litte town from both my grandfathers I finally had the
pleasure of visiting in 1999. The scenery was breath taking
and the experience was fantastic. Had a great time and hope
to return soon with my wife Antonella.
This website is a great idea and keep up the good work.

of Castropignano with my mother, who was born and raised there. Her name is
Ida Borsella Chase. She was 18 when she left her family and her village by
marrying an American soldier, Dudley Chase. Nineteen years later, in 1966,
my mother returned to Italy for a visit accompanied by me. Many of the
relatives thought that I came in search of an Italian husband. I was 18
then, the same age my mother was when she started her life in the USA and
becoming the mother of twelve children. Meeting those Italian relatives and
experiencing Castropignano made me permanently attached. Thank you for this
website! Sincerely, Agnes Cortney

How amazing was it to finally visit this "mythical" town
that my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles grew up
in. I truly appreciate the life our parents led. When
you're in Castropignano, you feel a nostalgia that can't be
explained. I got to meet my grandmother's 2 sisters, whom
she hasn't seen since she left Italy, over 30 years ago.
All of us born in Canada have to go there. It felt great.

Island on April 16, 1909 he was registered as James
Scapillato, probably due to a typo or spelling mistake by an
immigration official.
I have created a web site for Scapillato's and Scapillati's
around the world to share information and, perhaps, track
down possible relatives. The address is:
http://www.communityzero.com/scaps.
The Castropignano site is very nicely done: good design,
lots of interesting information, and a good way for the
hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of Castropignanians and
their descendants to stay in touch. I have never been to
Italy, but look forward to visiting my grandparents'
hometown someday.

Comments: Hello my name is Janet Cameli
I live in Niagara Falls Canada
My father was born in Castropignano Campobasso Italy to the late Domenico and
Quinitlia (Mancini) Cameli.
He came to Niagara Falls in 1930.
He had two brothers and one sister. One brother Enino is still living.
My father has passed away in 1992.
I never realised how beautiful the city of Castropignano was till I visited
its web page.
What I would like to know if there are still members of my father's family
living in Castropignano or this great big world. If there is could they
please e-mail me so that I may correspond with them Thank you so much and may
God bless each one of you.

believe so many people have come from such a small place.
Both my parents (Giuseppe & Giuseppina Pizzacalla) were
born there. When they left Italy, in the mid 50's, they
went directly to Thorold, Ontario. My mother and brother's
family have resently returned from Castropignano, for a
family wedding. It would be a thrill to hear from any one
of my cousins who are still living in Castropignano.
I think this web site is a fanastic idea, I've spent hours

Comments: Hello again! I was just wondering if anyone has information
on famiglia Borsella in Castropignano. My late grandfather
visited the town in the late sixties and said he located the
family "castle" which was nothing more than a hole in the
ground. I remember him saying the villagers used most of the
stones to build houses. I also remember him saying that the
town had just put up a great hotel (must be the Hotel
Palma). Does anyone know the name of the family who owned
castello d'Evoli? Or castel di Sangro? (No need to be
alarmed, I'm not looking to reclaim the "throne," I'm just
curious about my family's past.) Also, there are maternal
names on the Borsella family tree such as: Maria Rosaria Di
Felice (1860-1938), Carmela Cameli, Teresangela Molinaro,
Egidia Sergnese, and Maria Luciano. Anyone with common
ancestors, feel free to contact me!

Comments: Ciao, paesani! I am totally ECSTATIC that I found such a
wonderful site which celebrates our common place of origin.
My great grandfather Antonio Borsella (born in 1892)
immigrated to this country some 90 years ago. We used to
have a castle in Castropignano, but now its a pile of rocks.
I was in Italy in 1996 (on a school Latin trip), but I never
visited Molise (we stood on Italy's west coast). I hope to
visit all the beautiful people in Castropignano someday. I
would like to make friends with other paesani from the
region. I am also related to such famous names as Sardella,
Di Felice, and Evangelista.

Comments: Cari compaesani, se partecipate al GRANDE RITORNO penso che
questa informazione vi potrebbe essere utile.
A Castropignano ha aperto un nuovo albergo. L'ho visitato
proprio ieri e mi è sembrato molto pittoresco. E' fatto da
tante casette antiche restaurate nel cuore del borgo
medioevale di Castropignano, nella zona che chiamiamo
"Colle" o "Chiaie". La vista sulla valle del Biferno è
veramente splendida, l'arredamento è quello della
tradizione, con il comò e gli asciugamani ricamati a mano,
l'atmosfera è affascinante.
Le camere hanno bagno, doccia e angolo cottura; gli spessi
muri di pietra le rendono fresche anche d'estate.
Non c'è ristorante, ma se non vi va di cucinare quando siete
in vacanza potete sempre andare ad assaggiare l'ottima
cucina di Severino, no?
Per informazioni e prenotazioni potete contattare h.alcolle@libero.it o il
telefono 0039.0874.503259 (Pasquale Sardella)
Vi aspettiamo, buon viaggio a tutti!

(ENGLISH VERSION)
Dear citizens, if you are going to join "GRANDE RITORNO"
this info could be usefull for you.
A new hotel opened in Castropignano, I visited it just
yesterday and found it lovely.
It's made of some ancient little houses in the heart of the
middle-age centre of our town, in the place we call "Al
Colle" or "Chiaie".
The view on the Biferno valley is absolutely wonderfull, the
forniture is the traditional one (wooden "comò" and hand-made towels and sheets).
The atmosphere is really lovely.
Every room has bathroom, shower, a little kitchen. The big
stone-walls keep them always fresh in summer.
There's no restaurant in the hotel, but if you don't feel
like to cook on holiday you can go and taste the good
kitchen of Severino's restaurant.
For more informations or booking you can contact h.alcolle@libero.it or phone
00390874503259 (Pasquale Sardella).
Well, I'm waiting for you all and wish you good travel!
yours

Comments: My grandparents Clemente Di Bartolomeo and Carolina Meffe were born and married in Torella del Sannio in the late 1800's. They migrated to the United States around 1910. I knew my grandfather he lived to be 90. My grandmother Carolina died in 1919 from the Spanish Flu here in the United States. Of course, I never knew her although I was named after her. I found your website recently and I like it. I started doing research on my ancestors several months ago. I have accomplished a lot in this short time. I found it both interesting and rewarding. Unfortunately, I never took interest in my heritage when I was younger. Now I am 60 years old. I want to know my family history. I have never been to Italy and since I do not like to travel chances are I will never get to see Italy except on the internet.

Comments: Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Jay Luciani. I am the son of Mr. & Mrs. Frank D. Luciani. My
parents live in California. Currently I live and work on a U.S. Naval
military base in the Indian Ocean (Island of Diego Garcia, BIOT). I have
never visited Italy, but my parents tell me that it is beautiful and the
food is great. I miss my mama's home cooked Italian cooking. Perhaps I
will be able to visit Castropignano during my R&R and see where all my
relatives are from. Also, to meet some of my relatives I have never seen.
Sincerely,
Jay Luciani

Comments: It is so nice to see that there are so many people that are
associated with Castropignano. I visited Castropignano
three years ago and it is a wonderfull place. As one
gentlemen mentioned it was hard to see the water turned off
at 10:30 p.m.but you get use to it pretty fast. I still
have grandparents, aunts,& uncles still living there, and I
am proud to say that I'm associated with Castropignano!!!!

Comments: How Wonderful! I spend my days at a desk and in the internet
and never thought to look up my old home town. Although I
have been able to visit our town only on rare occasions, it
is somehow truly a part of my heart, as you will all
understand. My parents speak of C., its people and its
history all the time. I can't believe, however, how few
people still live there. Maybe some of us should go back and
re-populate? Why not (as my mother might say). My father is
Ersilio (Liberato) Di Vincenzo, my mother is Bina (nee
Venditti). Their parents are Donato and Alberina Venditti
and Angelo Di Vincenzo and Rosina (nee Caperchione). I'm
sure the family tree spreads far and wide and I would love
to hear from any of you. If there is anyone in C. with a
moment, send over a cyber message with some good news! Lots
of love to all. Robert Di Vincenzo.
