(If your goal is to claim your Italian Dual Citizenship in Serra San Bruno follow this link).
So, if your ancestors lived in Serra San Bruno during the past centuries, then you should start your family research from the City Office of Serra San Bruno to know more: our local expert is ready to help you in your research!
Otherwise, if you think to contact the town hall by yourself, we suggest you to read our tips for your search. They are useful to search in Calabria and of course in Serra San Bruno too!
Next picture shows the demographic trends in Serra San Bruno from the Italian Unification(1861).
This is a necessary info to understand how many people lived in the town in the past.
To proceed faster with your research is important to know if the last name you are investigating is a frequent surname in Serra San Bruno. As more your surname is common, as more it could be difficult to find the right branch of your ancestors family in Serra San Bruno archives, expecially if you have not exact dates.
It could be useful for you to know that some of the most common surnames in Vibo Valentia province are:
Arena, Barbieri, Bartucca, Carnovale, Caruso, Cavallaro, Ceravolo, Cirillo, Contartese, Corigliano, Costa, Cugliari, De Luca, De Vita, Ferraro, Franzè, Fruci, Galati, Greco, Grillo, Iannello, La Torre, Lico, Loiacono, Maiolo, Mamone, Mancuso, Marchese, Mazzeo, Mazzitelli, Mazzotta, Messina, Michienzi, Monteleone, Nesci, Pontoriero, Pugliese, Restuccia, Rizzo, Romano, Rombolà, Rondinelli, Russo, Serratore, Tassone, Valente, Vallone, Ventrice.
Church Records in Serra San Bruno
Church archives in Vibo Valentia province may store even older information. You will find religious records of the same events (births, marriages and deaths) but, most important, you could go further back in time!
So in case you would like to go back in centuries, it’s good for you to know that the parish registers in Vibo Valentia started during 1500!
They are far less accessible from abroad (and even not easy to browse and to read if you are not used and skilled) but our local genealogist can research the church archives of Serra San Bruno on your behalf.
In case you want to visit churches, these are the addresses of parishes active today in Serra San Bruno:
MARIA SS. ASSUNTA IN CIELO – Corso Umberto I
S. BIAGIO VESCOVO E MARTIRE – 89822 SERRA SAN BRUNO VV

Another important source of information are the notary documents available to expert researchers in the State Archives.

I am researching my family history. I am interested in any documentation to prove my findings. My great great grandfather immigrated to the US in 1909 from Serra San Bruno. His name was Salvatore Massarella. He was born on March 18, 1883 in Serra San Bruno. He traveled to Scranton, Pennsylvania but eventually settled ton Rochester, NY. His father was Guiseppe Macerone and his mother was Rose Macerone. They were both born in 1860 in Serra San Bruno. I am looking for any relatives in the area. I plan to travel to the area in fall of 2023.
Could not find a Massarella or Macerone SSB
The arrival document looks like Salvatore Mannella not Massarella
I’m looking for information on my grandparents:
Salvatore Muzzi married to Raffaela Manno
and,
Antonio Macri married to Maria Cicilia Nardi
Can you provide me with their birthdates please?
Thank you!
Any more information available.
When married. Approximate Birth date.
Age when arrived in USA. Date of arrival.
I am trying to find the date and church in which my grandparents Angelo Mannella married my grandmother Maria Assunta Arigianello. I believe it might have been around 1922 in Serra San Bruno, Italy. I am also looking for a death record of my great grandfather Ferdinando Mannella. I believe he died around 1920.
I am looking for information on the last names “Calafati” and “Pelaia”. My great grandfather was Bruno Calafati born in 1850. He married a Serafina Pelaia who was born in 1864. I believe they both had many sisters and brothers but I do not know any of that info and I am still working on confirming their parents names. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in Advance! Both from Serra San Bruno.

Are there any Manno’s still in Serra San Bruno? My husband’s grandfather was Guiseppe Manno. He was born in
Serra San Bruno and later moved to Johnsonburg, Pa. His parents returned to Serra San Bruno. Would love to come and visit
sometime and learn more about their history.
I am researching an Elizabeth Manno (b 1878) married to Ralph Manno…. they have roots in Serra San Bruno? Any relation??
Are you related to Bruno Manno Born 1888 died 1921?
Found his headstone while in Johnsonburgh Pennsyslvania.
I’m not sure. I’m thinking there may be a Bruno or Giuseppe that could be siblings of my great grandfather. They are popular names so I’m not sure.
GG grandfather was Francesco Manno
GG grandmother was Maria Teresa Vellone
After arriving in New York, the went to Johnsonburg PA
I think your husbands grandfather was friends with my grandfather, John (Giovanni) Cirillo. If I’m remembering the right gentleman, he was very sweet!
I to am from Johnsonburg and am researching my step father family, Joseph Malfara. His family owned the Johnsonburg Hotel. Catarina Scuglia DeCario and her husband Dominic DeCario were partners with Guiseppe Malfara in several business adventures, would love to share.

I’m looking for information on my 4th Great Grandfather Nicola Amato. His death record record had the following:
(based I what I can translate)
– Died 9-Feb-1866 in Roccavaldina, Messina, Sicily
– Born around 1788 (age at death listed as 78) in Serra di San Bruno, Calabria.
– Occupation: blacksmith
– Father: Bruno (deceased)
– Wife: Rosa Lombardo (her death record says she was born around 1794 in Ravenna, Italy)
– there is something about madre but I was sure what it said although I don’t think it lists her name.
I don’t know where Nicola and Rosa were married. The marriage date would be some time before around 1813 or 1815 as that is when the earliest child (my 3rd Great Grandmother, Anna) I could find was born in Roccavaldina. Anna’s birth year is based on her marriage and death records.
I am looking for information on my great grandmother, Maria Assunta Federico, born February 3, 1892 who’s birth certificate is registered with the Comune di Serra San Bruno, Provincia Di Catanzaro. Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated,
I am looking for any information on Bruno Valente who was married to Luigia Tassone. Bruno came to the USA on October 28, 1903 on the ship Lahn. Through the research I have done it seems that Luigia died right before he came over so I am assuming she died in or around 1903. Bruno and Luigia had 2 children, Francesco (my great-grandfather) and Rosa who married Nicholas Tassone (was supposedly murdered in Italy). Bruno’s father was Francesco Valente. I am unsure who Bruno’s mother was. Anyone recognize those names? I look forward to hearing from you!!
What year was Francesco Valente born in Serra San Bruno?
Unable to locate a death document for Luigia Tassone,maybe a different name.
Arreste (not sure of the spelling) Tassone married Bruna from Serra San Bruno. She was related to the Borello Family. Not sure if her mom was a Borello or if her father’s last name was Borello. They lived in Beacon, NY for some time. Not sure he passed away sometime ago. Bruna still lives in New York I think.
My great grandfather, Alessandro Guerino, was born in Serra San Bruno sometime in the 1860s. He was married to Carmela Borello. I am having a hard time finding any information on him. The story my family has always heard was that either he or his father was born illegitimatelym and he was either adopted or given a different surname by the state, and that is all we know. We do not know the name of the biological father except that it might be Tiano or Tigano, or something similar. He arrived in the US in 1906 with his wife and son, Giuseppe, my grandfather, who was also born in Serra San Bruno. I would really like to find out our real family name, if possible, and also where the name Guerino might have come front. Was this a common name given to illegitimate children by the state or could Alessandro have been adopted by the Guerino family?. I would really appreciate any information that anyone could give me.
Thank you,
Marcella
I am related to Alessandro Guerino. His wife, Carmella (given name was Assunta Borello) is my great aunt. Her brother, Agostino, is my grandfather. Alessandro’s and Carmella’s children were Angelica (1888-1946), Guiseppe (b. 1890), Rose (Rosina- b. 1891) and Ralph (b.1898). Alessandro was not illegitimate. I believe his son, Ralph, was the result of an affair and, therefore, was considered illegitimate. Ralph married Mary Scala and settled in Herkimer, NY. If you have proof of any misinformation I’ve given, please contact me so I can correct it. Thanks! Diane

Many different families from Serre San Bruno and the surrounding area settled in Pittsfield. My grandparents Vincenzo and Margaret had eleven children.

Hello!
I am actually doing two family tree’s. One for my son Colby Pisani….his Gr grandfather Eduardo “Edward”* Pisani was BIRTH JULY 11, 1886 • Serra San Bruno, Catanzaro, Calabria, Italy and Died SEPTEMBER 26, 1952 • Ridgway, Elk, Pennsylvania, USA. We believe that Eduardo’s parents were Luigi Pisani or Pisano and Anna Theresa Vavala. We have no information on siblings or the family other than what I have provided.
The other family history is my step father, Joseph John Malfara. His grandfather was Giuseppe Michael “Joseph” Malfara BIRTH APRIL 10, 1873 • San Nicola De Crissia, Calabria, Italy and Died OCTOBER 27, 1933 • Ridgway, Elk County, Pennsylvania, USA. He traveled back and forth to Italy several times in 1890, 1898 and possibly in the early 1900’s. He went back to Italy in 1898 to Marry his wife…Anna Maria Scuglio BIRTH NOVEMBER 25, 1877 • Vazzano, Provincia di Vibo-Valentia, Calabria, Italy and Died OCTOBER 14, 1967 • Ridgway, Elk County, Pennsylvania, USA.
I believe that Giuseppe’s father was Michele Rosario, but have no name for his mother. As for Anna Maria, her parents were Francesco Scuglia and Maria Theresia Scida. Anna Maria had a sister Catherine that was married to Domenic DeCario. Other than that I know nothing elso on either of these families. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you so much for your time and anything that you can provide for me at this time.

Hello Justine,
I saw your post and I am also researching the Vavala family. Curiously enough my Great Grandfather, Rosario, his brother, Salvatore and their father, Rocco came from Serra San Bruno to McKean County, PA. They changed the spelling to Vavalo after their arrival. DO you have any information that might connect our families?

Both my mother (Maria Grazia Calaminici – April 11, 1948) and father (Salvatore Scopacasa – March 8,1939) were born in Serra San Bruno and therefore all of my grandparents were from Serra as well. However, finding information beyond my grandparents has proved difficult.
I would like to start with my paternal grandparents. My last name is Scopacasa and my paternal grandmother’s last name was Vavala (accent on the last a). My grandfather Stefano Scopacacasa was born in 1900 and my grandmother Consolata Vavala was born in 1901. I am searching for any records of my great grandparents. My dad and relatives always made reference to Nonna Rosa who was apparently my grandmother Consolata’s mother and lived to the age of 95. Any information you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance.

My mother Stella Tucci is from Serra San Bruno. Her parents Nazzareno Tucci born in 1909 and Maria Teresa Vellone born 1912. Her family immigrated to Canada in the mid 1950s. My grandfather had 2 brothers: Carmelo Francesco Maria and Salvatore and a sister Francesca. All siblings passed away in SSB. My great grandparents were Francesco and Rosa (Pupo)Tucci and Francesco and Stella (Iorfida) Vellone. Really enjoyed reading this thread and all your stories. Louis I believe you tried to connect with me. Apologies I cannot find your email.
My father Stefano Calaminici was born in Sera San Bruno on either 4 or 5 May 1897 to Giuseppe and Giuseppa Calaminici. I visited the church where he was baptized…the entry shows the date of 4 May 1897 which would have been the date of his birth.
Stefano Calaminici emigrated to the US in 1921. He departed Naples on the SS Taormina on 22 April 1921 and arrived in the Port of Philadelphia on 6 May 1921 then he went to Freedom, PA to live with his sister Rose (nee Calaminici)Campese temporarily. He later move to Newark NJ where he married my Mother, Raffaela Sofia De Stefano whose father also was from Sera San Bruno. I am currently trying to find other relatives in the US and Italy.
I have also found Giuseppe Calaminici who emigrated to the US in February of 1903 on the SS Phoenix departing Genova (Genoa) and arriving in The Port of New York on 6 March 1903.
Giuseppe is listed as a workman from the town of Stignano, Reggio Calabria which is about 34 Km (about 19 miles) southest of Sera S. Bruno near the coast.
It’s likely that Giuseppe and my father are related.
If you are interested in tracing our family history together I would be willing to work with you. I travel to Italy often and have discovered my father’s brother’s (my uncle) grandson.
Interested in learning about all the Calaminici family history. My searches point to the Calaminici family havin deep roots in Sera San Bruno.
Hello, my father was Angelo Calaminici born 1924, he had 3 other brothers Giuseppe, Alfonso and Orlando and there were two sisters. Orlando remained in Italy to settle in Caserta, Italy. Their father Salvatore Agostino Calaminici born 1886 made regular trips to the United States for business/work. But he died in an accident when attending a Baptism celebration at around age 41 years. The details have always been sketchy surrounding this mishap. I have been told that Salvatore had a brother Biaggio and I believe a brother Joseph..
There was also a sister who came to the U.S. settled there, her name was Mary Calaminici Birth-1895. Here’s the confusing part is a search I did years ago identified a Sophie Calaminici Birth 1908, Steve Calaminici Birth 1897, Adelina Birth 1892, James Birth 1894. Is it possible that so many of that clan left Italy and settled in the U,S.? The search did not state if they were Landed immigrants?
My dad Angelo Calaminici settled in Toronto, Canada along with Alfonso, Giuseppe and sister Maria.
Please, Stefano, you can more clear, I don’t understand
perhaps we could be relatives on your Nonna Maria Consolata Vavalà’s side

Hello,
I am looking for additional information on my maternal grandparents’ families, both of which are from Serra San Bruno. My grandparents were born and raised there before coming to the US in 1901/1906 (Pennsylvania) and becoming naturalized US citizens in 1917. My grandparents, Giuseppe Catroppa (born 1879) and Maria Rosaria Scicchitano (born 1885) were married in Serra San Bruno on February 17, 1906. If I am understanding the marriage document correctly, my grandfather’s parents were Domenico Louis Catroppa and Maria Aurora Carrera, and my grandmother’s parents were Domenico Scicchitano and Apollonia Pace. I know that my grandfather had at least one sibling (brother Angelo Catroppa – born 1882) and that my grandmother had at least one brother (Nazareno Scicchitano – born 1888). I would really appreciate any additional information on my grandparents families, especially on any other siblings they might have had, and also anything you may be able to tell me about whether or not the information I have on the names of their parents is correct.
Thank you very much – Celeste

My mother Josephine Tawney wrote to you and we are thrilled to read your posting! That’s my grandfather, we are family! Please reply!
Josephine and Linda,
I am so sorry but I just saw your replies to my post. We are indeed family! I grew up in Aliquippa/Hopewell but have lived in Los Angeles for many years. Rose was my grandmother and Helen was my mother. Our family (Clarence & Helen Miller), Grandma Katroppa, and Aunt Lena and her family (John & Lena Kost) lived in the big family house on Park St and then all moved together to Kane Rd in the very late 1950s. Our familis used to do a lot of things with your sister/aunt Nae Williams and her family and occasionally saw her sister Catherine Terrazano and family as well when I was growing up. I have been doing a lot of research on my own on the US stuff and acutally just used Italian Side for more info from Italy. What they found is wonderful! I now have a lot more info on our Scicchiatno ancestors, including more bothers and sisters beyond Rose, Nazareno, and Catherine. I am not sure how we can be in touch directly but please be back in touch on this page and we will figure something out.
Celeste,
I have been doing a lot of research on my own but always come to a dead end. I just can’t fine anything on my mother or father I just can’t fine out who I am.
