Great video! My grandmother came from Forenza, born in 1891 and immigrated to the USA in 1910. Trying to find information on her mother, Cristina Masi, in the event anyone lives there and can check records? Thanks for posting this.
The song is: Cu'mme, Mia Martini e Roberto Murolo, Album: Antologia Napoletana Roberto Murolo or Napoletana, Volume 3 (disc 1: dal 1940 al 1953) Roberto Murolo .
southern italy definitely makes an impression in you. then you come back home to the US and you find yourself sipping espresso in the kitchen, and you close your eyes for a moment and try to remember the time you were buying oranges from the guy on the 3-wheeler, or eating a plate of fichi or fichi d'india on the street, or simply talking to your aging grandmother, or childhood friends. God Bless Italy.
After some searching I've found my grandfather Michele Abbruzzese and his friend
Luigi La"c"orraca (Not Sure of the "C") both 19 yrs of age listed as farmers on a the ship registry here in NYC. They left Forenza in June of 1902 for New York from Naples. Is Abbruzzese still a prominant name there in Forenza? Is there a way to find out exactly where he lived?
i love this video , it reminds me of when i went to forenza in the summer of 2007 . im just wondering if i have met u and the family , do u have a son (forgot his name )and daughter called silvia . My name is Elena

I love the architecture, way the towns look, and whole feel of Latin Europe (Greece, Italy, Turkey, Southern France, Spain etc.)

What a delight! My grandfather emigrated to America from Forenza way back in 1889 when he was only 8 years old.
