My mother is a Tucciarone, but her father (my grandfather,
Giuseppi Tucciarone was from Castelforte, a small town not
too far from Casserta (where my grandmother Giuseppina Ionta was raised.
I believe we have other family in or around Roma. My mother's cousin
Dante Tucciarone (if he is still alive) and his family.
There may be some connection here-- there are not that many Tucciarones.
