Can't read this ship record

Over 25 million Italians have emigrated between 1861 and 1960 with a migration boom between 1871 and 1915 when over 13,5 million emigrants left the country for European and overseas destinations.

Can't read this ship record

Post by amorosini »

I have the ship record for my great grandfather but I cannot read where he lived. Last name is Di Capito. I know the Capito's are primarily from Sicily and that is the known fact in our family.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!

Are we looking at line 1?
The "overwriting" reads - South Italy.
To get a better sense of the clerk's handwriting - can you post a link to the original manifest?

Line 2 is obviously - Santa Maria Capua Vetere.
SMCV is in Caserta Province, Campania Region.

Hi Biff!!

Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!

Thank you for the link.
Unfortunately, I am still not able to decipher the place name written under "South Italian"
However, it has elements that resemble S. Maria C. Vetere...
