Commenti/Comments: My
wife and I visited last year for a week and it was amazing
to finally see not only Morrone as an adult but all
the other towns I heard about
while growing up; Casacalenda, Campobasso, Ripabottoni,
etc. My grandfather was
one of the Moscatello stonemasons so it was amazing
to see the statues they made
(the WW I memorial is their work) and their work on
the church, etc. One word of
advice to everyone looking to find relatives - find
out what your family nickname is!!! This is VERY IMPORTANT.
As we discovered, last names don't really mean anything
to anyone there - you need the sopracognome. once you
have that, any of the old-timers can help you out. I
also had the privilege to perform some of my poetry
in Italian at the Kalenarte festival in Casacalenda.
Wow! It's an experience I will never forget. Molise
is an "undiscovered" region and not exactly
a tourist destination (all the guide books give it a
paragraph at best) and there are no hotels or motels,
except fo! r the one on the new highway (hotel kris)
at the bottom of the mountain. Even a week was too short
and hopefully we'll go back. It does put things in perspective
as to why your parents/grandparents left to start a
new life elsewhere. 15-January-2005

del Sannio in 1899. He moved to America in 1921. I am

believe my family came from this region as well at the
turn of the 1900's. Unfortunately, no one from this
immediate Colasurdo family has been
there since WW when one of my uncles went there for
some R&R in 1944. Our family
came from this region and settled in Cortland, NY and
has been there since early
1900's. This is a wonderful website...:):):) 16-June-2004

three visits to Morrone last time was about 1999. Relatives
Franco (Termoli) Teresa (Campobasso) Gianni and his
fatehr Gabrielle (Morrone). I have found some Colacarros
on the internet in Ohio. not sure of the
connection. My father and three aunts in Seattle- borth
grandparents born in
Morrone- Modesto Colacarro and Mary Alfonso.My visits
to Morrone have been great. I actually hada student
in my school who has relatives from Rippabatone-what
are the odds of that. Will visit again-in the near future. 05-June-2004

Commenti/Comments: Great classy site, a tribute
to our ancestor's homeland. Especially interested in
the folk songs. There is one that is sung in honor of
the Blessed Mother that I heard Father Ambrosio sing
at a funeral mass. Unfortunately,I do not know the name
of it. Most beautiful. Does anyone have any idea what
it may be called? Are recordings of it available. Regards
to all and a special thanks to the webmaster. 15-May-2002

La mia domanda e' questa...Sono italiano americano con
il cognome "Jackovino" Nessuno mai avete sentito
questo cognome a Morrone del Sannio? Ho pensato che
i miei nonni/bis-nonni mi hanno detto che questa e'
la citta da dove sono venuti. Mi dispiace per i miei
sbagli. sto ancora imparando. Se c'e una persona che
sa l'informazione mi piacerebbe se mi darebbe la posta

Commenti/Comments: Hi to all members and future
guests! I would like to start by complementing the web
designer of Morrone. You have invested alot of your
time in making this site number one because you are
proud of your heritage. I've known Carlo(the webmaster)
for almost 12 years now. He and I are both Canadians.
It so happened that our parents were both from this
famous little town in italy called Morrone del Sannio.
Our parents instilled in us all of their fondest memories
and traditions of Morrone. I have travelled to Morrone
about 8 times. My desire to visit Morrone has never
died. This town is amazing! Some of my immediate family
live in Morrone but that alone is not the reason i crave
to be in this little town. Morrone is on a mountain
and you can see the world from up there. When your on
'I Croci' and looking down the mountains, you can't
help but to feel so peaceful. Viewing all the land and
neighboring town is trully unbelievable. Nothing like
i have ever felt or seen in Montreal. The fact that
my ancesters and family resided in this town has enabled
me to appreciate and love what Morrone has to offer.
My last visit to Morrone(May 2001) was one of agony.
My maternal grandmother was ill and passed away on the
very day that i left Morrone. Although she was my soul
purpose of always visiting Morrone her soul and heart
lie in that town. Therefore my will and intentions will
be to treasure this little town and i will jump at any
opportunity to revisit this land-- my homeland. Carlo,
I would like to thank you once again for this site.
Whenever I feel the urge to be in morrone all i have
to do is turn on the computer and pop goes the screen
saver of Morrone. All your efforts in making this site
is trully appreciated by your many guests(whether they
are looking for loved ones)or simply by your wife whom
is truly a morronese in her heart!

Commenti/Comments: Hi, I'm very excited to find
the Morrone del Sannio site. My grandmother and her
family are from Morrone, and my grandfather is from
Ripa - last name of Ciolli. They met and married in
the US. Here's some of my family names to see if anything
matches with anyone reading this! Please drop me a note!
Grandmother (Maria Guiseppina Iorio - changed to Josephine
in US) born in Morrone del Sannio in 1905. Immigrated
to US in 1911 with 2 sisters, Maria? and Carmela Her
parents were Domenico Iorio (born 1892) and Angelina
Mastrogiacomo Iorio (born 1883) Domenico's parents -
Michele Iorio and Maria Guiseppa Angelina's parents
- Modesto and Gracia Mastrogiacomo Grandfather (Carlo
Ciolli) born in Ripa 1903, served in Italian Army in
WWI in Ethiopia, immigrated to US at age 27 with his
cousin headed to a cousin's home in Woodlawn, PA. His
parents were Nicola Ciolli and Archangla Fattore Ciolli
Arcangela's parents - Angelantonio Fattore and Doletto
(maiden name unknown) Fattore I know they both left
brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins behind,
but I don't have any names. I'm going to Morrone del
Sannio and Ripa in April for a short exploration to
see if I can find anything, but if anyone has any clues
for me or advice on where and how to look once I get
to Morrone and Ripa, please let me know. Kathy (Ciolli)
