DiFelice / Felice from Bugnara, Italy

Hello, looking for any information about my great-grandfather and his parents who are from Bugnara, Italy. My great-grandfather was born Gaetano DiFelice/Felice in 1888, he immigrated to the United States in 1909. His parents are Vittorino DiFelice/Felice and Donata Ianessa. His father came to the U.S. for awhile, but I believe went back to Italy. I do not have confirmation on his death to know this for sure, but I have learned that Donata did pass away in Italy in 1913. Gaetano changed his name after a couple of years in the states to Guy Felix. He has four sisters, all born in Bugnara. All but one also immigrated to the US (Natalia, Maria Niva Nicolina, and Fortuna). Two of them ended up in Pennsylvania and one in New York. My Great-grandfather moved to Michigan after a short stay in Pennsylvania. One sister remained in Bugnara, her name was Yolanda. I would love any information regarding the Italian heritage of this family and the sister who stayed in Italy. I also very recently found information regarding the sister who ended up in New York (Bronx area)... her name is Maria Nicolina, and she married a man named Giovani Ciocchi. I'd love to find any family members from this family too. Regarding the family's surname, I have seen documentation with both DiFelice and Felice, so I'm a little confused as to which is the official family name. Thanks in advance!
