Ciao Debiscott,
just a clue....
I found that Vincenzo in 1930 census was living in Providence rI with his son Antonio Loporchio (and daughter in law Antonietta)...
I searched the arrival manifest for Antonio (1913) and found this:

at that time he was leaving in Italy (Ascoli Satriano) his father Vincenzo..
I noticed that he was travelling with a Family named Cecchia...
Cecchia Vincenzo from Ascoli Satriano (wife Anna Andreana, child Giuseppe and Pasquale) were going at the same Address Antonio was going too...
So I thought that possible they were relatives and his mother's surname could have been Cecchia...
I found no Cecchia Surname in the Apulia Region but sure does exist
Checchia....
Could it be the correct spelling of Vincenzo's wife?
