hey, first time I logged in here, nice to help other italians who were boen in US and want to know more of my birth place,
I am here to help.
you guys let me know

since it's around NY, you'll have no problem finding italians, like here in socal, no problem with mexicans...
by the way when I came to US/socal, I found an official tranlator via INS... they keep listings of italian/americans certified... look there

as apready stated, there is no such word in italian, unless it exists in some local dialect, I think by the sound as a last name colgone and volgone sounds possible though (although meaningless like my last name )

bro, I am an italian living in socal/LA, let me help you anytime, just write me an email if you need. (andrea_catto@hotmail.com)
