There are several Castelfranco and Castelforte in Italy, and I don't think there's a town with both names.

It seems to me it could be "San Leucio", a village that is part of the Commune of Caserta.
Can you post a link to the record in Ellis Island, or the name to search for?

In Italy, the one kind of pasta where you can fin meatballs in, is "lasagna".
For those who don't know it, it is made of slices of pasta with (in the middle of slices) tomato sauce, mozzarella and parmigiano. We often put in it peas and little fried meatballs. Then, it is cooked in an oven. This is ...
