The Riso Family
The story of the Riso family of Montalto Uffugo begins with Diego Riso. Diego was born in Montalto Uffugo in 1824 to parents unknown - he was an orphan. He must have been adopted by a family because he was a property owner by profession and an industry owner. Diego married Angela Salerno in 1845. His 2 page marriage document can be viewed here and here. The marriage was officially witnessed by Gaspare Zingone and Antonio Fuoco. Angela Salerno was the 16 year old daughter of Vincenzo Salerno and Chiara Fullone.
I have found 8 children of Diego and Angela. Since there is an 8 year span between child number 1 and child number 2 I am sure I am missing 1 or more children born between 1848 and 1854. The children I have found are listed below.

Angela Maria Salerno
Angela Salerno was the daughter of Vincenzo Salerno and Chiara Fullone and was born about 1830. Vincenzo Salerno & Chiara Fullone were married in August, 1825. So far I only have 2 sisters of Angela. In 1827 Maria Pasqualina was born and in 1832 Rosa was born I am working on Angela's family now and hope to have more up soon.
During the time period of Diego's life through 1910 the only Riso's in Montalto were his descendants. The parents of Diego were not listed on his birth act.
