Tessa-

Thank you so much! These look to be good records. I am not able to find where they are in the town of Giugliano di Campania. Where do I find this?

FYI...it is rumored that the last name was originally Petito. Di Orio was Mary's maiden name.

Pippo-

Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to search for me. :) However, I don't think these profiles match him.

Records for Giugliano in Campania can be found here, but only through 1865.

You might search for Raffaele's birth, hoping he was born in 1865 or earlier. Unfortunately there are no indices for births. You will need to search page by page.
