Thanks this information helps a lot.

Theresa’s maiden name was Cifuni although not sure about the correct spelling.

All of this information does appear to be about the people I'm looking for.

it is just a my suggestion:
because in Accettura are D'Anzi surname and Cifuni surname.
So Accettura or neighbouring communes....
