Thank you all again for your help! I had not even considered that the third letter could be an "r". The di Iorio name would make much more sense for the town. I will look around for further records as suggested, but it is a bit complicated as Giovanni Cappuccilli had a second wife, and only the one ...

Thank you for the input. Gazio/DiGazio seems like a more common last name than Gorzio. It's a little odd to me because I've never come across the name before when researching the records from this area.

These appear in the back of an 1847 marriage record from Ripabottoni. It looks like a genealogy chart for a Leonardo Cappuccilli ...
