Hello Mongiello's and Mart,
I've just returned from Italy, where I spent a week in a few amazing places. I and my father,stayed in Solofra with cousins of mine for the 1st 4 dayd of the week(Francesco and Anna Gentilucci) They were absotlutely beutiful people and treated us like royalty. Anna cooked everey moment we were there and it was the best authentic Italian food I've yet to taste. She is a true talent. Franco was our personal escort to anything or place that needed be. Franco was a 6'4 teddy bear with a heart of gold, who I miss already. We were in a town that is surrounded by mountains, so high that every peak was covered in clouds. It was majestic expirience looking out a balcony every mourning to this site. My father made major headway in geneology at the local church and courthouse. We also tracked down some original Mongiello descendents' houses in Solofra(I took many many pics!) I had 2 beautiful cousins close to my age there to keep me companyand help with my Italian, Chinsa and Paula. My cousin Nicola was hard at work in highschool, but I got to spend time with him as well...a smart kid who's going places. So Thursday,after we said our teary goodbyes, we went off to Roma for the last 2 days of our week long stay.(BTW be careful if you drive in Italy...they don't believe in following the lines LOL) The time spent in Rome was too rushed, due to it being the business end of the trip for me. I had a short amount of time to get alot of pics for my boss. But at every turn I was overwealmed by Rome's allure, architectures and ancient treasures. I had time to stop at a cafe and enjoy an espresso,(and buy an espresso machine LOL) and a tuna sandwich. Then the next day, it was back to Philadelphia. It felt great to be home, yet I truely felt seperated from new friends, family, and my 2nd home. Paula and I promised to be friends for ever no matter how far away we were. And I will always remember the wonderful trip
Mart let me know where to send you some pics of the trip for you to see and post for all to enjoy.

Hi Marti,
looking through the mail below and the addition of the following "(1871) Salvatore Mongiello is born and stays in Italy his entire life. "
I believe this to be my Grandfather he was born around that time in Cassano Irpino(AV) he had two children Vicenzo and another (can't remember need to ask my father)in his first marriage and another two in his second marriage(Salvatore and Guiseppe_my father) both of his second marriage son's were born when he was in his late sixties early seventies.
My grandfather did emigrate for a short while to the states but came back and died in Cassano in the Nineteen forties.
My father emigrated to England in 1957/8 and worked on a farm in Cambridgeshire,had two Children Salvatore(me)1959 and Sandra 1967 who has since herself emigrated to Norfolk(West Virginia)
I myself have had two children Kelly 1982 and Ricky 1984.
I currently work for Nokia Telecommunications as a Project Manager amd travel extensivelly around europe.
From a distant relation
Sam Mongiello

This entire web site is phenomenal! My grandmother was a Mongiello, and my great grandparents were Pasquale and Theresa Mongiello (nee DiMaio) This is so wonderful to be able to find more Mongiello's, since I've been working on our family tree. I have to tell you, this has mine beat! It's amazing that our family is worldwide. I wish I could meet each and everyone of you.
