Looking for location in Macerata

[DiStefano]

Hello,

I am trying to find the town my grandfather Nazzareno DiStefano was from. I am attaching his draft card, he immigrated to the United States in 1914. I am almost positive the second word is: Macerata. I believe the first word is Porovaglia. Based on other draft cards filled out by the same person the first letter is almost certainly a "P". But I could find no locations in Macerata or Italy for that name. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps it is a street name?

Hi!

I think the town could be Morrovalle (Macerata Province, Marche Region) ... possible the name was very mispelled....

don't know if this is the same Nazzareno but I found this arrival manifest:
