My grandfather Vincenzo Mancuso was from Nicastro and my grandmother Angelina (Caruso) Mancuso was from Catanzaro. They came to the United States in the early 1900′s. My grandfather had a brother by the name of Francesco. Could you send me any brochures on Villaggio Mancuso? My name is Stephen Mancusi 116 Klondike Ave #302, HAverhill,MA 01832-8620. Thank you.

I wonder if you are related at all to some of the guests we had at our B&B last year. They were Mancusos, too and had family ties to Villaggio Mancuso. Next time I go to VM I can see if I can find some brochures for you. I haven’t seen any here in Catanzaro.

Cute! Were the hills alive with the sound of Calabrian music per chance?

See, I *thought* it was just in my head …

I love the architecture of mountain villages. The slanted rooves and the carved wooden balconies ... I can't get enough of them! I love them, too. So quaint! joanne at frutto della passione’s last blog post..The Nibble Gourmet Food Magazine Website of the Month November 2008
