		<description>In November I will be attending a meeting at the University of Molise and plan to visit Macciagodena.  My grandfather (on my father's side) was born in Macciagodena on September 26, 1882 and his name was Louis Dell'Omo.  His father (my great grandfather) was Dr. Michael Dell'Omo (born 1840 and died in 1896) was a physician (he graduated from the University of Naples).  In addition to my grandfather, my great grandparents had three other sons--one a priest, one a singer, and one a pharmacist--and four daughters (all the daughters moved to the US).  My grandfather came to the US (Red Bank, NJ) in 1905 and married my grandmother (Jennie Tempesta, daughter of Louis and Rose(Fabrizi) Tempesta) in 1909.

My father, also Louis Dell'Omo, grew up in NJ and was a pharmacist.  He had two sisters (Fulvia and Josephine) and a brother (Aubrey).

I was wondering if anyone knows of my family in Macciagodena.  I'm really looking forward to my visit and hope to connect with family members and experience the town.  Thanks.</description>

		<description>Ciao, mi chiamo Michelino D'Itri, per puro caso andato sul tuo sito e sono rimasto affiscinato dalle vecchie foto. Io vivo a Macchiagodena e conosco il fabbricato dei tuoi parenti.Leggendo i commenti ne ho trovato uno di un amico che si chiama Pasquale Fantone, il quale è vissuto a Macchiagodena per qualche anno, pertanto colgo l'occasione per salutarlo. Buon lavoro e saluti da Macchiagodena.</description>

		<description>Looking at your pictures reminded me of my visit to Macchiagodena in August 2007 where my Mother and Uncle are from.  They came to the U.S in 1938.  Her name is Michelena Miranda.  Her mother was from Frosolone and Cesere was her name.
I believe my Mom has cousins still living in Compobosso.</description>

		<description>hi Luisa, hope you're doing fine and that you still read these comments. My name is Angela and I guess we are also related... my mother was born in Incoronata (1938), her name is Angela Manocchio, her father was Felice Manocchio and her mother, Antonia Perrella. They moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil on 1950, where my grandparents died years ago. My mother and her brothers and sisters (Maria, Rosa, Giuseppe, Nicola, Giovanni) are still alive, and they all live in Sao Paulo. I moved to Germany years ago, but before I came here, I spent about 6 months in Incoronata by Ferdinando and Maria (Agriturismo Zampacorta)who is my mother's cousin. I remember there were some relatives from Canada over there by that time, maybe your parents?? Unfortunatelly, I got to meet many many people, and I can't remember all the names. You might wonder why I'm not Perrella, or Manocchio, but in Brazil they have this stupid thing to give the father name. I'd love to have my mom's name though...
Anyway, just wanted to say hello to you, (my cousin??)
Wish you all the best, and if you want to keep contact.
Have a peaceful day</description>

		<description>Hello,
Both my grandparents came from Macchiagodena they were Louisa Dell'Omo and Giovani Paolucci.  My grandmother's family were pharmacists there.  My Aunt Rose Martella told me the Bishop would stay with them when he came to visit the church. 
I love your travel log.  Going there is one of my greatest wishes.
Thank you,
Jeanne</description>

		<description>Hello,  
I was just browsing the web looking for information on my family and I came upon this wonderful travel log of yours.  My grandmother and grandfather come from Macchiagodena.  My grandfathers name is Midea and my grandmother is Buonomo.  They moved to Pennsylvania when they were both young and started a family there.  I don't believe they ever went back.  I'm sure that I still have some family there and I hope someday to visit.  Thank you so much...</description>

		<description>I think it's great that you are sharing your family, pics, and trips with us...Thank you!  My Mom's father came from Macchiagodena but we have no clue if there is still family there or not.  I am just beginning to do family searches and would be grateful if you can give me a name or address of the local city hall or records building.  His name was George Meyo, which is the Americanized version, of course.  He came to Cleveland Ohio through Canada, from Italy.  Any help you can offer would be sincerely appreciated!!!  I am named after him.

		<description>Luisa, I was born in Incoronata in 1958 and we moved to Montreal in 1964.  I visit Italy every year to visit my Grandparents Pasquale and Petronilla Zannella.  These are my Mom's parents.  My Mother, Maria passed away in 2002.  My father is Giovanni Perrella son of Matteo Perrella (they used to call him 'frattone') and Angela Manocchio (both dec).  Three of Dad's brothers, Ferdinando, Ernesto and Biagio live in Incoronata.  Uncle Ferdinando Perrella is the owner of Agriturismo Zampacorta.  Uncle Ernesto owns the local watering hole, Bar Val Verde right across from the church, SS Maria Incoronata, downtown so to speak!! Although I live in Atlanta, Georgia most of my family is in Montreal where I grew up.  I did so enjoy reading your story and viewing the photos. I have no doubt we are related and if Mom were here, I could ask.  I will be sure to ask Uncle Mario Perrella who lives in Montreal.  We are many and spread wide.  2 others of the Perrella siblings are in Western Australia: Elisabetta (wife of Sabatino Palermo) and Alessandro Perrella.  I have often wanted to connect the dots even with those in South America.  Thank you for sharing.</description>

		<description>Domenica and Nic are related, yes, (through marriage). Her husband, and Nic's dad were brothers, and both my dad's cousins. Her husband died a little while ago. 

The trip pictures have been online for quite a long time - in with the rest of our family pictures on tnir. I tried to annotate them, but I don't think it worked well. I really ought to come up with some better way of annotating them. But all 250 or so are there:

		<description>So is Domenica related to Nick of Swan Valley, or is that yet another line of the world  famous (and world wide) Perrella family?

It's really cool that these comments are coming from all over, one at a time as people discover this blog.

So when do the rest of the trip pictures go online, Luisa?</description>

		<description>Hello Luisa
My name is Domenica Perrella (nee De Cesare) and I 
am the daughter of Pasquale De Cesare (dec) and Crescenza Gentile.
I was born in Macciagodena and grew up there until I got 
married and moved to Australia. I knew your mother Nuziata,
I wonder if she still remembers me when I used to visit my great Aunty
Pia Barile (Zia Pia di Cich.)We had some good times together.
I married your fathers cousin Angelo Perrella (dec)who 
was the son of Nicola Perrella and Teresa Barile.
The other night I was with my sister Angelina and my mother and we had 
a look at your website and enjoyed it so much that 
we were still on the internet late into the night.  
It was really nice to see all the photos on your website,
it bought back a lot of good memories for us all.
If you come to Australia one day it would be nice to meet you. 
Ciao from Western Australia</description>

		<description>Hi Luisa,
my father and I just visited your website and we thought it was absolutely great.  My father comes from Macchiagodena, Contrada Santo Ianni, and we visit Italy quite often.  When we go back home we always visit the "borgate" including Incoronata.  We live in Toronto and are happy to see that second and third generation italian-americans are exploring their roots.
Keep up the great work and we looking forward to seeing the rest of the pictures.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!</description>

		<description>Hi Luisa,
I found your blog searching for my town's images... I can't explain how pleasant has been reading your description of things that was so obvious and "hidden" to me (like your mother asking about the mountains...). I actually live in Rome where I studied and now work, but I spent my first 18 years there and I still go there at least every three weeks.
Maybe we're relatives, my grandma is Anna Maria Perrella (daughter of Rocco) and lives in "Barile", and her mother was Giuseppa Vespoli... I will ask her.
Hope you'll come back soon, so maybe we can meet!
Kisses, Valeria</description>

		<description>Wow, nice work, although I haven't had a chance to read it all. I sure will though, while I'll be on vacation these upcoming holidays in Incoronata. And... I definitely won't miss the opportunity to show Zia Incoronata (Zia Bionda), Zio Nicola and Angela, Tonino, Simone and Sonia what you have done. It's just wonderful! I live in Montreal and I am your uncle's wife nephew. I was just browsing, wondering what the internet had to say about Incoronata, Macchiagodena these days! Sure surprised me how close to home it got... :)</description>

		<description>Hi,
   Just visited your website.. just loved it. You could be related some how. My Mom and Dad are both from Incornata. Dad's name is Barile, Moms is Vespoli. I caught the name Perella. My Aunt and Uncle and many cousins live there also. (Rocco and Domenica Perella). The pictures are just beautiful. I was there in 1981. I printed a picture of your family, I'll bet any money my mom and dad know them. Small World. 
                                 Thanks again, 
                                  Mary (Barile) O'flanagan.
