Francesca Mangano

Today I came across the marriage certificate for Nicola Marchiano and Francesca Mangano.  They were married on October 23 of 1909 in the town of San Demetrio Corone in the Province of Cosenza in the region of Calabria, Italy.

Francesca's father was Natale Mangano and her mother Maria Falco.  She was 20 years old at the time of marriage and Nicola was 23.  His parents were Carlo Alberte and Maria Samarra. The marriage certificate indicates that his parents were no longer alive.  I wonder if these are the names of his birth parents in Albania - or if they are the names of his adoptive parents when he fled to Italy?

I wonder if his last name "Marchiano" is from the Albanian parents or his adoptive parents?




It would be interesting to contact the town in Italy to try to track down a birth certificate for Francesca Mangano.
