Acquavia Pietro - Spadola Carmela

[f.iallorenzi]

Hello,
I am looking for information on the family of one of my ancestors who emigrated to the US around the 30's.

His name is Pietro Antonio ACQUAVIA, he was born in Ruoti, in the province of Potenza, in Basilicata, on 7 May 1897;

his parents were Giuseppe Antonio ACQUAVIA (1/4/1859 -?) and Rosa AQUINO (27/6/1859 -?).

He married in Ruoti on 25/6/1927 with Carmela SPADOLA.

He emigrated to America with his parents, i think after his marriage

Thanks for your help

NOTE: It is a good possibility that the Pasquale Acquavia who presented the newborn child, Giuseppe, was the father of Rocco.
