He was born in Rocca Pia June 15, 1903 and died June 12, 1986. He came to America when he was 17, in March of 1920. He married my mother in Canton, Ohio USA, in 1926. Her name was Fulvia Tomas, from Castelamare, now a part of Pescara. He worked the coal mines in Pennsylvania, and then moved to Canton, Ohio, where he worked in the Steel mill, until he retired at age 63. My mother, Fulvia had 12 children from Angelo, in which 10 are still living. they were the most wonderful parents. Did everything for there children. My Father had one brother,(Nunzio) who lived in Bovard, Pa, and two sisters. Mary lived in New Alexander, Pa., and My Aunt Palma lives in tasmania, Australia. She is 94, and still living. God bless her.

My grandmother was Concetta Amatangelo, one of 4 children of Teresa and Nicola Amatangelo. Concetta married Giacchino D’Aurora and moved to Erie, PA. from Rocca Pia in the very early 1900’s. Concetta had two sisters, Rose and Vallie, who also moved to Erie. My husband and I will be travelling to Italy in May, 2009 and would like to visit Rocca Pia. I am searching to see if anyone has information about any relatives of my grandparents who may still reside in Rocca Pia. Would love to hear from anyone with information.

My grandmother, Angelina Rapheala Amicucci was from Rocca Pia. She was
actually born here (parents immigrated), but went back to Italy when
she was about 2 and then returned to the states at 14 or so. She
became a schoolteacher. She passed away 3 years ago at the age of 85.
Her husband, Peter Amatangelo, still lives in Northville, Michigan,
though they resided in Warren, Michigan from the time my dad was
young, until her death.

I'm wondering if anyone has information on Carlo Vicenzo Amicucci
(born ?) who was the father of Pietro Antonio Amicucci (b. 1877, d.
1953) who was married to Maddalena Leone in 1902. Their son was Donato
Antonio Amicucci (b. 1909, d. 1995) and was my maternal grandfather
(who had three sisters, I think -- one named Constantina Amicucci
Gati). Pietro and Donato were born in Rocca Pia (not sure about
Carlo). I've found references to Amicucci families who are still in
Rocca Pia and would love to make contact with them since I will be
visiting the town in April. Thanks for any info!

My husband's grandmother came from Rocco Pia. She was born Rosa Cuzaolino (sp?) , daughter of Arcangelo and Bellisante Antonia ( could be Dellisante). Rosa was born August 29, 1890 and came to the United States in 1908. We have her passport but cannot find any records other than that. We do not know about her mother's maiden name, but it may be Duca. Have you ever heard of any of these surnames?

I am looking for information on Giuseppe Fedei (Fidei) who was born in Rocca Pia in 1876 to Giorgio Fidei and Frances Amicucci. He came to America in March of 1900. He settled in Erie PA and lived there all his life. He married a girl from Italy with the last name of Issue, shortly after his arrival. Unfortunately, she died very young. Giuseppe wanted a new Italian wife so he returned to Italy sometime in 1906 or 7. He sponsored the passage of Maria DeLetta Puinno from San Giovanni in Galdo to be his new bride. She entered America through the Port of Cleveland in 1907. They were married in July of 1908 in St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church in Erie, PA.
Giuseppe raised his family in Erie's Little Italy. The children included George, (son of his 1st wife), Mary, Frances, John, Angeline, Agnes, Raymond, Jean and Domenick.

Giuseppe used to send money to his family in Rocca Pia, however, he didn't keep in contact with them as he did not know how to read and write. We have a letter, from his mother, (undated). The translator told us that Giuseppe was admonished in the letter, for never telling his mother about his life in America. His daughter says that was because of the illiterate problem.
Seeking any information on the parents or siblings of Giuseppe or remaining relatives in Italy.

My parents came from Rocca Pia and moved to Erie Pa. many years ago. My father Marco Leone came to Erie circa 1910. He returned to Italy around 1935,married my mother and returned to Erie a year or two later. His fathers name was Antonio( I think) his mother and my mothers mother both had the same name Isabella Fronzalia. I know the names of my uncles and aunts on both sides but I was wondering if any one could help me in going further back in my family tree. I am told that my mothers family originally came from Calabria. I think that my fathers family goes back many more generations in Rocca Pia. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.

My grandfather was born in Rocca Pia and moved to the U.S. as a teenager. I am looking for help in how to spell his nickname in Italian. His name was Frank Rocco. I believe he still has a sister in Rocca Pia. He passed away 1 year ago. They use to call him a nickname that sounds like ch cooch. My grandmother thinks this his nickname meant "Little Frank." Can you help me out with the correct spelling of his nickname? My cousin believes the spelling in Italian is "Ciccuci". I would appreciate any feedback you can give me.
