Even though the spelling of the name of the cousin in the record translated by Donna is Zupito, as she indicated, the male first name in the town is actually Zopito, named for San Zopito, the town's patron saint.

Donato Ginestra death-

Dated March 1, 1801 in Vestea (this is a frazione of the town of Civitella Casanova in Pescara Province)-Donato was of the "Feudo Aragone"-or Aragona Estate. He died on the preceding day at the age of about 50. He had not received any of the sacraments. The record says "pativa di mal caduco." I found that in Spanish "mal caduco" means epilepsy, but in Italian, I am finding the word for epilepsy to be epilessia. So I am not sure. He was buried in this parish church.
