The families of Grosso and Ciarla

The families of Grosso and Ciarla

Updated January 17, 2007
This research has been created in honor of my grandparents and their ancestors before them, the Italians of whom I'm proud to call my family. They are the Grosso and Ciarla families.
My families came from the Molise area of Italy.
Campobasso and the region called Rippabatoni.
The south eastern part of the boot.
Even though the northern Italians found the south to be poor and full of peasants, my families rose above it and became good hard-working citizens of America.
I'm proud to be half Italian.Being raised in an all Italian family, I consider myself to be a full-blooded Italian-American.
