Hi Jim:
My DiTullio family came from Abruzzi as well. My father, Alfred, always told me that we had relatives in Massachusetts. He was born in Abruzzi (I don't know the town - something like "Toradepasada" - translates to town of the chickens???) in 1922. I will find my grandparent's first names and get back to you. Our family settled in Lockport, NY and some went on to Canada.
