Per the Andrea Casazza manifest Valarie posted, the more I look at the 1899 manifest the more I'm seeing:
Moconesi, province of Genoa in the region of Liguria.
Even though Anna Maria Casazza and daughter Serafina's 1905 manifest showed last residence as Varsi that might not be where she, her mother and her siblings were born. She may have just returned there with her husband after they were married.

Biff: that could be right..I'm still a "rookie" when it comes to the regions but talking with my Dad this afternoon he said that his Grandmother (Anna) came from Genoa. I know that could be generic but I hope that helps.

We'll take a look.
Since this is before her marriage in 1904, it may not be your 'Anna'
but it could be a relative of Giovanni's?
Valarie
Appears to be 3 siblings joining an unnamed brother in NY 1897 manifest
that is true..I did see the 1897 manifest you noted..When I saw destination was NY, I just figured that it was the same Anna Maria. I hope I'm not confusing things.
