Italian Regions

I an Italian from my maternal side. My grandparents came from Italy. My grandfather David Angelo Leandre 1875 (I was told from my mother was raised by nuns and given his name, so I don't know where in Italy he was born). My grandmother, Maria Guiseppa Panzone, was born in Bisenti in 1881, her parents, my great grandparents were Vincenzo Panzone and Dorinda D'Agostino, they were born in Penne. Parents to Vincenzo were Emidio Masimo Panzone (Penne) and Maria Pulcheria Micoletti (Loreto). Only found one parent to Dorinda D'Agostino, Maria Vincenza D'Agostino (Bisenti).
I have all these grandparents on microfilm from Latter Day Saints Family History Center. If any of these names ring a bell to anyone that reads this, that maybe have more names in the family, please let me know. I am sorry I don't speak or read Italian, the only thing I read is the birth and death records on the microfilms. Any information would be greatly appreciated. If God willing, maybe one day he will grant me to travel to Bisenti. But right now the people that live in the Abruzzo region are my eyes and ears for me. Thank you!

My grandparents had several children - Lillian, Walter, Peter, Wiley, Eva, Caesar, and Anthony. I believe Lillian, Walter, and Peter were born in Teramo. I also believe Wiley and Eva were born there, but I have no verification. Caesar and Anthony were born in Philadelphia (I think...) I know we have family back in Italy....as the "keeper of the pictures" from my deceased parents, I have pictures of an amazing villa and house from there. From my web searches I can only find 7 Crisanti's still living in Teramo (no emails), and about 30 Rastelli's. To this date, I have found no email address whatsoever on anyone.
My daughters and I are planning a trip to Italy in July 2010. We are very interested in finding lost family members to meet. If anyone knows any of the Crisanti's who still live in Teramo, please forward this message to them. If you can direct me on how to get in touch with them, that would be great. Also, if anyone has an email address or web address for the Teramo's hall of records, that would be helpful as well. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Kindest regards,

If you have any info, please contact me and we can go thru this and get our lineage! Thank you so much for this very vaulable site.

His Father's name was Pasqualle Fallavollita and his mother Filomena DiMarzio, both were born in Corfinio.
Filomena had two brothers, Americo (who moved to Canada) and Lucciano (a priest who stayed in Corfinio). Her parent's names were Giovanni and Cristina DiMarzio.
Pasquale had a brother, Antonio (who moved to Canada) and two sisters (one moved to Canada, the other to the US). His parents both died when he was young.
If you could provide any information on the families of Filomena and Pasquale it would be greatly appreciated.
