I will be visiting Sortino in May and would like to know where my Piraneo/Blancato relatives once lived. Can anyone help?
My grandparents were
Carlo Piraneo (born 1/24/1895 - died 4/18/1964) and
Rosina (Rose) Blancato Piraneo (b 9/8/1903 - d 5/31/1995).
Both were originally from Sortino (Siracusa), Sicily but emigrated to the Bronx around the early 1920s.
Any information about other Piraneo and Blancato families, either here in the U.S. or abroad, would be greatly appreciated.
