  1. I would like to have a copy of the Brief History of Faeto and Celle de San Vito. My grandparents were born in Faeto and emigrated to the U.S. in late 1800. They were Carmina Ruggiero and Vito Tangi.
    Thank you,

    1. Margaret, my mother's family also came from Faeto and settled in Binghamton! My cousin and I are currently trying to trace our roots. Our family names are Menichelli and Vezzaro (spellings have shifted over time).

  2. Thank you for this blog! My daughter, Emily, is in Faeto right now on a quest to find our relatives, the Benedetto's. Our family came to the U.S. at the turn of the 20th century from Turino, but it turns out they're all from Faeto.

    Thank you,
    Denice (Benedetto) Beal

    1. Hi Denice, My grandmother was a Benedetto also. I have done some extensive research on her family. I was in Faeto in June of this year also. I have also met with an Italian interpreter at the genealogy headquarters at the Mormon church in Salt Lake City. My grandmother was Rosana Benedetto. She had 6 siblings. Her father was Bartolomeo Benedetto. He had 8 siblings. Most of my grandmother's family settled in Bridgeport, Ct.
      Please contact me if you think there is a connection.
      Regards,
      Jayne Paoletto Fullerton

    2. Hello. My parents were both born in Faeto and emigrated to the US. My mother's family (Maiocco) settled in Bridgeport. Her brother, Egidio married Maria Benedetto and they owned Marie's Bridal in Bridgeport for many years. Aunt Marie had several brothers and sisters who remained in the Bridgeport area. My mother moved to Newark NJ when she married my father, Nicholas Petitti whose family originally settled in Ohio (Middebranch, Ohio near Canton) My grandparents in Faeto were Propero Maiocco and Lena Carosiella. Grandpa was a tailor as were my uncles there. My grandparents in America (also from Faeto) were Nicholas (Joseph) Petitti and Rosina Pastore.

  3. Hi Jayne, my family also came from Faeto to Bridgeport CT. From naturalization papers my grandfather's parents names are Vincenzo Agostino Petitti and Giovina Pastore. Our name after coming through Ellis Island is spelled Petitte. I am just beginning to research my family from Italy.
    Respectfully,
    Diane

  4. I don't have any names that correlate with yours. However, if you want to email me and have any dates, we can cross reference. I have a large family tree from the Ohio Petitti family that goes back to 1775, I suspect there must be a connection at some point to all the Petitti who came over. Most went to CT, Ohio or Chicago it appears. Sptilt@aol.com

    1. Susie: I would love to have a copy of the above documents. I can also send you many photos of my trip there to Faeto in 2012. I have a picture of the plaque with many family names on it. I will look for it and hopefully we can connect and exchange documents. Thank you for this blog Angela (Yannuzzi) St.Germain from the families of (Finelli and Scarinzi - Faeto Italy)

  5. Susie, my son rented a house from a Petitti family in Faeto in 2016 and the man had a brother in Stratford, Connecticut. Small world (we live in Stamford), but I am from Bridgeport, CT and knew a few people from Faeto as well. My husband's grandfather was born in Faeto and came to Stamford, CT in 1912 when he was 12 years old.
