At ItalianSide, we have a big collection of old photos from almost every town in Sicilia and in Italy (We have more than 90% of Italian towns in our pictures archives!).
We have several images of Gioiosa Marea too and here you can see one of them (click on the picture to enlarge).
If you are interested in historical maps, here you can see an old map (1800) of Gioiosa Marea and its area.

After your “LIKE” please remember to send a message to gioiosamarea@italianside.com and we will send an old picture of your Italian town!
I saw the list of churches in Gioiosa Marea, Messina that you provided. I didn’t have any success in finding out which of the churches existed in 1900. Can you recommend a good source. I am going to Sicily soon and was hoping to narrow down the search for my family’s church.
Thanks
