Hi Hope everyone is doing well. My Name is BethAnne Silvaggio, I am from MA. My great Aunt said that our family is from Ripabottni Campobasso, Italy. I've been told that we still have family in Italy & Canada. My great grandparent’s names are Maria (maiden name of Paduano) & Leonardo Silvaggio. I have been working on a Family tree for quite some time. I am on Ancestery.com if anyone wants to see if any of the dates ring a bell. I have also been told that my great grandfather Leonardo had two brothers Frank and Nick his mother and father (my great great grandparents were Emila & Domenic I know we have tons of relatives in Montreal ,Canada. If anyone has any information or believe that you are a relative please send me a message. Thank You

Welcome Beth Anne......you probably already know this, but Campobasso is actually located in Southern Italy......Molise is located just north of Puglia. There is a really neat town about 1 hour away called Lucera (which is located in the Province of Foggia, in the Region of Puglia) which I visited with my cousins who live in the city of Foggia. Frederick II built a heavily fortified castle in Lucera and protected it with Saracen Mercenaries.
My Italian teacher in night school was born in Campobasso along with his cousin who wrote a book:
Janus: Two Countries, Two Love Stories by Frank Salvatore
