Italian Family Tree
(See also Japanese Family Tree.)
On this page are downloadable files containing my genealogical research organized by family branch.
Note: These files do not include living relatives. Any family members who would like the entire tree must contact me.
This site also contains photographs taken in the four towns from which my family descends. The photographs include gravestones, which may be of interest to other Italian-Americans from the province of Benevento.

DiPaola, Antonio
(my dad's side)
Antonio DiPaola was my ninth great grandfather, born about 1600. Apparently somewhere before 1600 is my connection to Gwen Stefani the famous singer. My closest connection to this surname is the mother of my great grandfather Pasquale Iamarino, Lucia DiPaola. This tree is 4 pages to be laid out 1-2 over 3-4. (New 12 Jul 2009)Iamarino, Giuseppe
(my dad's side)
Thanks to my friend Fabio Paolucci from my ancestral home town of Colle Sannita, this tree dates back to my sixth great grandfather, born in 1710. It has grown even more, thanks to my Iamarino and Basile cousins in Canada. This tree is 8 pages to be laid out 1-2-3-4 over 5-6-7-8. (Updated 12 Jul 2009)Iammucci, Leonardo
(my mom's side)
This tree starts with my third great grandfather, Leonardo Iammucci, born in 1780. Also from the town of Basélice, this is the last name of my grandfather Adamo Leone's mother. (Updated 12 Dec 2010)Leone, Giuseppe
(my mom's side)
This tree starts with my third great grandfather, Giuseppe Leone, born in about 1772. The family is from the town of Basélice, and some of our relatives are still there. Print these 4 pages and lay them out side by side. (Updated 5 Jul 2009)Pilla, Donato
(my dad's side)
Born in 1770, Donato Pilla is my fifth great grandfather. This Colle Sannita tree is also courtesy of Fabio Paolucci. Gennaro had seven children, and it was their descendants whom I met in Italy in April 2005.Pisciotti, Giovanni
(my mom's side)
This tree starts with my fifth great grandfather, Giovanni Pisciotti, born in about 1726. Also from the town of Basélice, this is the last name of my grandfather Adamo Leone's grandmother. Print these 3 pages and lay them out side by side. (New 5 Jul 2009)Sarracino
(my mom's side)
Born around 1820, this Sarracino, whose first name I don't know, is my third great grandfather. It's interesting to note that in at least one branch of the family, the name became Saracino with one R — some time after 1922. The family is from Pastene, Sant'Angelo a Cupolo. Print these 7 pages and lay them out side by side.Saviano, Raffaele
(my mom's side)
Probably born before 1820, Raffaele is my third great grandfather. He is the grandfather of our Mammanonna, Maria Rosa Saviano. The family was from Tufo in Avellino, but it's unclear how long they were there.
