The nephew of my gggrandfather immigrated from Torino in 1900 to live with his uncle in the United States.
Census Records say he was 8 years old and from Rocco, Purmont, Italy. Knowing what I now know about the Provinces...I'm guessing that should be Rocco/a, Piemonte, Italy. His name on the Census records appears to be Lui Divito.

Perhaps this means my grandfather was from Rocco/a,Torino,Piemonte, Italy?

From a listing of comuni (towns) in Italy beginning with Roc in the province of Torino.

Double check my results. I may have missed a listing.

I would bet this is Rocca Canavese, Province of Torino in Piemonte. Have spent the past 2 years going thru the Rocca civil records from FHL microfilms, and there are hundreds of Davito Gara's in them.
