Dear Friends

I write you for help me to promote the Italian Culture in the world, for always maintain alive the memories of our ancestors.They left Italy to seek one's fortune abroad, for themselves and for their children.

My name is Castolo Teodoro
i’m 39 years old, I have married with Rosaria D'Ambrosio and we have three children, Francesco 7 years, Alessia 5 years and Carola 4 years.I live in Campagna in province of Salerno, Italy, to 40 Km from the village where I have born, Castelnuovo di Conza to the boundary with the province of Potenza and Avellino.

My address is: teodoro.c- AT - tiscalinet.it

Castelnuovo is famous for the his greatly sheds emigrants in each part of the world. Also in my family there has stayed and there are relatives that live far from the Italy.I remember when to the age of 10 years every 15 days my mother dictated me the letter that I wrote for the grandfathers that stayed in Germany.

My father remembers us when in the first years of the 1900 and after the First World War many castelnovesi has left for Africa, Nigeria, Congo, Somalia, Red Sea, like Pugliese Vitale, Del Vecchio Leonardo, Di Geronimo Francesco. After they have left for Canada, United States, Central America, Martinique and Guadalupa, America of the South, Australia, like the Venutolo families, De Rogatis, Annicchiarico, Del Vecchio, Di Ruggiero, Di Donato, Custode, , Di Domenico, Federici, Mastrodomenico and so much other.

After the Second World War the castelnovesi have emigrated in each part of the world, in Europe and greatly in Venezuela, like my father, my uncle, my grandfather and other relatives.

Years of joys and pains, fortunes and adversities.

Today I would want these feelings are always alive in the hearts of those of Italian origin and they don't come forgotten ever. This is possible because I have realized a splendid engraving on wood to hold home, a very handsome reminder the origins of the family and do it know through internet to the wibesite:
