Ginosa (TA)

[5papas]

I am planning a trip to Italy with a stop in Ginosa. Anybody have recommendations on where to stay?

My goal is to research our family name (Papapietro) and try to locate any relatives that might still be in the area. Any recommendations on where to begin looking for the birth records of my grandfather and great-grandfather who were born there circa 1896 and 1866?

Italian telephone directory listings for Papapietro in Ginosa:

Note this is just landlines; many Europeans forgo landlines in favor of cell phones only, so there may very well be other Papapietro's located there.
