Lost town called Guidamandri (sp) Please Help!!

[Skyfeather]

I am looking for information on a town called Guidamandri. The spelling may be a bit different I am unsure but it was in southern italy? My family originated from there or at least thats what I have been told. It was a small fishing village. If you could help me at all please let me know! I was told that all that was left of the town was a zip code but I cant find any mention of it at all. Thank you so much to any help you can give me. Please e-mail it to Skyfeatherspirits@yahoo.com . And if you are familiar with this town and know anything about the name Schifilliti that information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello Skyfeather,

I am searching for the same family in the same village as you! Did you have success with your searches, already? I am searching for a Paola Schifilliti, born about 1835, who later lived in Itala/Messina as the wife of a Stefano Bottari. There have been some more members of Schifilliti-family in Itala at that time!

Kind greetings from Germany
