Hi Liz,
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you; I have been out for a couple of weeks with the flu, then got busy catching up!
I am not familiar with a Charles Piantanida. However, you mention that he came from Torino moved to Philadelphia. My ancestors did the same thing, around 1890. What year did Charles move here, do you know?
