Town of Cava de"Tirreni in Region of Campana

[Normandie]

I am looking for information on this town. My Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother came from here with my Grandfather and his two sisters. Their last name was Duro. They came to New York in 1899 thru Ellis Island. I am hoping to find out about town and family.

Thanks for screenshots. The only thing is once I go to the shot if I want to look at more my computer closes me out. So think I have to go site on my own and not through the one posted here. I hope this makes sense. Thanks again for leads. Now I need to find my ancestors.

Thanks for address. I need to write letter for my relatives. My Great Grandparents, my Grandfather and his two sisters are suppose to be from there. Their last name is Duro. They came as family in 1899. It looks like my Great Grandparents made several trips.
What was your family name.? My Grandfather was a tailor.
