What town is the Groom From:

Post by RobininStl »

Can someone help me understand where Giovanni Torcia is from? I am looking at record 29 on the right hand side - marriage of Giovanni Torcia and Teresa Romano. I think it reads that he is the son of "Camillo and Giovanna Torcia della Chiara delli Greci." Is this the same town as Piana degli Albanese, or is this a different location? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

On the act it actually reads Chiana Delli Greci. (Piana dei Greci in Sicilian dialect).
That’s how Piana degli Albanesi was called before 1941.
So, same location.
