Street scenes of today's Orsogna a small town in the Abruzzo area of Italy. Many of the towns original inhabitants migrated to America and settled in the Astoria Queens County New York. In fact inorder to hear the original Orsognese dialect you can only hear it in Astoria as the town in Italy no longer speaks Orsognese.

    Ree...Pa...Rola. Or something like that.

  • my father name is Domenico Saraceni and his soprannome (nickname) is cucu. he lived on via vignaioli quarto ballo

  • @Choochamania11 My wife recognizes your fathers name and she says that you may be related. Her name was Elizabeth Tenaglia before she married me. Also, she may have met your parents at Zia Bambina's wake. Her fathers name was Giuseppe Tenaglia and his wifes name was Maria (Mastrocola). It's a small world.

    PS: I went to Google Earth and tried to find the street your father lived in ( Via Vignaioli) but could not find it.

  • my father is from orsogna!!
