Just trying to find Coccolleto on the map but the closest place I could find was Castalletto. It is just a bit north of Genova. Is that the place that Stefano Calcagno came from?

Hi Ralph,

My name is Ralph Anthony Pelusi. My ancestors were from Calabria and Sicily and my Great-Grandfather from Aidone, Sicily was named Antonio Calcagno born 06 Mar 1896 and his father was Paul or Paolo Calcagno born abt 1855. I understand that the area was small but Calcagno was also a common name. Because the area was small it is very likely we may be related, also Antonio settled in Pittsburgh, Pa. I look forward to your e-mail.

Respectfully,

Ralph Anthony Pelusi

Hello, my name is Anna. It's seven years later so I hope you'll get this. I am 13 and I've been trying to find out more about my grandpa Eugene Steve Calcagno. I think he was born in Genoa, Italy and his father was born in Varazze. I saw an obituary for Julie Calcagno in 2010 but I can't find anything about Eugene. I saw someone had pictures but I don't know how to look at them. Hope to hear back!
