Hello and welcome!

Trieste is a Province, and to find records in Italy we'll have to narrow his place of birth down to an EXACT town...
The surname VERGENDO is found today in Province of UDINE...
See the list of towns below:

The surname CODUOT does not exist in present-day Italy...but the surname CODUTTI can be found throughout the Province of UDINE... AND is found in the town of TRIESTE
Cross-referencing the towns with CODUTTI and VERGENDO suggests places you might begin your search for information about Giovanna and Raffaele in Italy...
Towns of UDINE, MARTIGNACCO and TARCENTO (in Province of Udine)

AND town of TRIESTE in the Province of Trieste

I also did a search of the Italian Phone Book...
When I searched for VERGENDO in TRIESTE - all the results were in UDINE Province.
There are 11 listings...
