My great grandfather was Barone (noble title) Mariano Vitale from Maida, province of Catanzaro, Italy. I am looking for information regarding the family history. Also, if there are any family members reading this, Please contact me. Thank you.

Re: looking for vitale family originating from Maida Italy
Civil records for Maida are on line for 1809-1861 at familysearch.org
The Italian government have put some death records on line at their antenati site. Anything else you will have to write to the town itself.

Re: looking for vitale family originating from Maida Italy
For a very evocative look at life in Maida, you may want to read Gay Talese's "Unto the Sons". Maida is one of the ancestral comunes of the Talese family.sprekopa wrote:My great grandfather was Barone (noble title) Mariano Vitale from Maida, province of Catanzaro, Italy.
The book describes in extensively researched detail many aspects of daily life in Maida, including the holiday tradition of the noble families opening up their palazzi and welcoming the townspeople for Christmas celebrations.
