Thank you again suanj.

Suanj, thank you for your reply. I note well your spelling (with 2 c) of faccendiere, but in the records I have seen, it is always spelled with only 1 c, perhaps using “napoletano” spelling? Anyway, I have no reason to suspect this ancestor of any underhanded professional acitivity, but some definit...

Thanks Pippo, it looks amazing! Have you had a chance to see it for yourself yet?

One of my 2x GGFs was born in Naples (Chiaia) in 1832, then moved with his parents to Ischia as a small child. In his marriage record (1859 in Forio), his profession is "facendiere". In the records of birth of his children, the profession is either "commerciante", "negoziante", or "possidente", depe...

Thanks....hopefully soon.

Thanks again, do you know if the San Giovanni station on line C is now open.....I mean allowing transfers from line A to line C? The new station looks beautiful!

Pippo, thanks very much, will let you know, will be in the summer. What about "Mazzo"...others have recommended....have you been?

Thank you PippoM....Centocelle is fine for me, so I look forward to your list. I agree that when the restaurant is all tourists, they usually disappoint.

As a frequent visitor, I have a few favorites that I return to, but I wonder if any of you would be kind enough to recommend a few of your favorites?

Anything within the ring-road is of interest. Thanks in advance.

Born 7 April, 1899, No. 24.

I should add that since I have ancestors born in most of the comunes on the island, I have noticed that when searching the indices for last names like D'Ambra, Di Lustro, Di Maio etc, make sure to look under the "A"s for Ambra, the "L"s for Lustro, and the "M"s for Maio. Said another way, don't be d...

I found the birth record for Francesco Crescenzo Calise , born 16 April,1893 in Lacco Ameno to Raffaele Calise and Angelina D'Ambra.

Dear suanj & carubia, After reading the very interesting back and forth here on this topic, I am now tempted to add yet another wrinkle....i.e. the case in post-unification Italy, especially in the exclaves of Pontecorvo and Benevento as well as other comuni in the former papal states, a child might...

Yes Philadelphia is your consulate.

Oh my, I'm sorry for the impossibly late reply. All research I've done has shown than in order to serve in the US military at that time (conscripted or voluntary service), a person immediately was made a US citizen, and forfeited any other citizenship. This would hereby break the line of Italian ci...
