Hi There,
I'm sorry if I didn't express myself properly, I was going to hook you up with Robert (tebor13) who has ancestors from Colle also. You two might have a connection since he has Mascia in his family.
My family is also from Colle Sannita, and when I visited there in April 2005, I discovered that many of them are still there! While there is no one named Iamarino anymore, my living relatives are named Pilla, Paolucci, Piacquadia, and Pozzuto. The Pozzutos own three restaurants in Benevento, including the outstanding Pizzeria Romano.
I have seen Colle Sannita spelled a dozen ways on the Ellis Island site, but it's always obvious to me that it's Colle Sannita.
By the way, Moscia (yet another spelling) is the name of a section of Colle Sannita. My cousin Maria Paolucci (married to Angelo Nigro) lives on a street named Contrada Moscia.
My family is from Colle Sannita, and they still go there every year.
Mascia is very prevalent in that area, and still many with that family name.
Also, Iamarino comes from that village, and many of them went to Niagara Falls, Canada. My cousin married an Iamarino, and there are quite a few in Canada
Hi Everybody,
I agree that the name of town most likely is Colle Sannita in province of Benevento in the Region Campania. My last name is Mascia and I currently live in West Virginia but the majority of my relatives live in NY, NY and CT. I would love to hear from all of you having roots to Colle Sannita or carrying the last name Mascia. My mother's maiden name is Iapozzuto. Other last names in our family are Zeolla, Iacobacci, Moccia, Piacquadio and others.
Also, I found out that a Domenico Mascia died in the 1907 Monongah mine disaster in West Virginia and I am trying to find out if there is a connection to my family. If you know of anything please contact me. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Angela Mascia
I am a Mascia and my parents live in Colle Sannita. Please let me know if I can tell you anything about the town of Colle Sannita.
Ciao,

Gent.ma Angela,
sarebbe opportuno metterci in contatto tramite mail al fine di approfondire il discorso sulle tue origini collesi: il tuo contributo di informazioni sarà sicuramente preziosissimo alla realizzazione del testo dedicato alle Famiglie di Colle Sannita cui mi sto dedicando, e per il quale sto ricostruendo le genealogie complete, dalla fine del XVII alla metà del XX sec, di tutte le famiglie di Colle Sannita.
