I just discovered a pedigree chart in a box with some pictures of my ancestors from Italy and I need some help finding these locations, if they exist.
Casilicato, Italy, Corvello Providence
and
Potenza, Italy, Calvello Providence
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, a name of Jellistine Stelliane was found and I am wondering if that is a first and last name or two difference spellings of a first name.
Thank you!

Re: Need Help with these Locations
My best guess is that both "places" are actually:
Comune di Calvello, Provincia di Potenza, Regione di Basilicata, Southern Italy
The village of Calvello in the province of Potenza, Basilicata region of southern Italy. See http://www.comunecalvello.com/
Regarding the names, neither appear to be correct, original, spellings. For one thing, the letter "J" is not used in the standard Italian alphabet, and a search of the Italian telephone directory comes up empty on both - a sure sign that they are not valid spellings.

Re: Need Help with these Locations
I searched Ancesty.com for possible relatives of the Carrione family:
Calvello, Potenza, Basilicata
Atti di Morte 1879 Number 134
7 Ottobre 1879:
Carolina Carrione anni trenta: filatrice (cotton weaver/seamstress)
Father: Giuseppe Carrione: Sarto (taylor)
Mother: Celestina Stigliano: cucitrice (seamstress)
Carrione was not a common name. I have not yet found a link between Carrione and Cirone, which was a fairly common name.
Good luck,
Dee

Re: Need Help with these Locations
the link shows where are in italy today people are living with that names - write in the name left above at cognome: http://gens.labo.net/it/cognomi/genera.html
not so many Carrione - but much more Stigliano (how you said).
