According to Italian custom, women retain their "maiden" names. The name you are born with is the name you die with. It was only when women came to the USA did they adopt the American custom of taking their husband's surname. I believe this still holds true today.

I am researching the surnames Sciarra, Ippolito, Luberti (Loberto) and Piacentro (Piacentino) all from Fara San Martino.

Hi there,

The Family History Center has microfilm that you can order and rent for about $3.50 a roll. Here are the film numbers for the town of Fara San Martino.
