Good question, regarding local newspapers.
I think you are referring to historical newspapers which might be archived or microfilmed.

I was wondering the same thing for the commune of Afragola, or I assume since its too small, would be a newspaper from Napoli, from the turn of century, or even say 1880's, and 1890's....(of course actually using them and learning the Italian language is another story...)

I have been somewhat successful at family research using the local newspapers. Here in Montreal, and probably in most of N Americas, we have access to dozens of newspapers going back to 1870's....some of the English ones do refer to some of the Italians, or Italian events.

Unfortunately there are NO surviving Italian language newspapers here in Montreal.

Il Centro and other Italian newspapers.

At the following link is the online archive of newspapers affiliated with the big Roman daily La Repubblica: http://ricerca.repubblica.it/ricerca . Click "ricerca avanzata" to open the full search screen. Next to the long search box is a drop-down list of all the archived newspapers. When you click on "Il Centro" you will see the covered issues go back to "1 gennaio 2003". Some of the other newspapers in this archive go back to 2000, and La Repubblica itself goes back to 1984. The Search and Results are full-text, and it is all free.

Even though this archive does not go back 100 years, searching for the ancestral hometown will bring up information on the modern town, and this may include historical references and even full-length articles on the town, its people, and its festivals. The news coverage on the recent earthquakes also includes historical information as well as the current situation in a particular town you may wish to visit.

Two national newspapers have free online archives that go way, way back. They are La Stampa of Turin (goes back to 1867), at http://www.lastampa.it/archivio-storico/index.jpp and L'Unita (back to 1924) at http://archivio.unita.it/ Both archihves are free.

The big Naples daily Il Mattino goes back to 1892, and may be available in microfilm in Montreal. Digital access is behind a paywall.

Thank you DCPandafan
Interesting tips

I looked around here and there doesnt seem to be any historical (old) newspapers for Naples

Perhaps the State Archives or the Library in Naples....

I tried searching on La Stampa of Turin. I put in the name of the person I am looking for in the search and some pages came up but I am not seeing his name on the pages. Are you familiar with the website and doing searches on it? I am not sure if I am searching it correctly.

Sometimes the La Stampa archive search function just doesn't work. Maybe there are too many people online all at once. Try it again later. I have used it many times and when it isn't working so well, I let it go to another time. When it works and I get a good hit, it more than makes up for the times it isn't so good.

Thanks! Ill try again. Do you think I will be able to find articles from Pianella on it?

[liviomoreno]

I doubt.
