: : My cousin recalled that our grandfather came from a place called Castel di Mare near Pescara. However, when I tried to find it at the Italian postal code page, it does not exist.
: : Does anyone know about Castel di Mare? Is it now a frazione of some other commune? Thanks in advance!

: : Fred

: Pescara and Castellamare were two separate towns until 1929, I believe.. They became one city with the name Pescara.

Thank you Lucio...I also found out that he was probably referring to Castellammare Adriatico and it is part of the city of Pescara.
