Giuseppi Nardella died in 1968 at home in Sava. The family villa was on Via Roma and was split up and sold after his death. Part of the property was given to Gigia??, a family servant. Also, Clorinda Buccoliero Nardella, Giuseppi's wife had a brother, Leonardo, who died in 1952 in Sava.

Hi,
He did have a son, Ambrosio, who drowned in the Wynooski River at 12-14 years of age.
I have a picture of his gravestone with his picture imbosed.
Typical Italian gravestone trait.
Thanks,
Jack

Hi,
Thanks so much for your help.
Yes, Giuseppi's mother was Leonarda Tripaldi Nardella.
His brother was Cosimo Nardella who ended up moving to R.I.from VT.

I found out that GGF Giuseppi Nardella's family lived in 'the big house" or mansion on Via Roma in Sava in the 1800's and early 1900's.
Property was gift from Garibaldi. Giuseppi's father ...

I am looking for my great grandfather's family in Sava. His name was Giuseppi Nardella and was married to Clorinda (Lorinda Buccoliero)Nardella and lived in Sava. They came to the US in 1912-14 through Canada and resided in Chittendon, Vermont.
They had three children, Mary Nardella Mancini (my ...

Hello Carmine,
Are you still out there.

What's very interesting about the Nardellas is that they were a very well to due family from Sava with a large villa surrounded by much land.
My GM would tell us how her grandfather was given this very large
property right after the unification of Italy because her GF was very close to Garibaldi ...

Hi,
Those are the names of the Mele family. I meet them all when I was a small boy in Worcester in the 1950's.
John Mele, 92??, is the son of Fiore and Madelena.
He is still alive and living in Hartford, CT.
The timeframe of 1920-25 is very difficult to track.
My GF and GM were in the process of ...

Hi,
I discovered that my GF and GM most likely lived with my GM's family, the Nardella family in Chittenden, VT. Giuseppe, Clorinda, sister Anna and brother Ambrosio.
The Chase Street address may have been the Nardella home.
The Nardella Family had very close friends, the Mele Family whom I believe ...

Hi,
Did My GF not participate in census taking because he was not a citizen of the US?
I'm stuck, also.
Does SS # lead us anywhere?
Thanks,

The death certificate for my Dad is correct. E. Mario Mancini married to Evelyn, two sons, I am John (called Jack), two ...
