Luigi Napolitano and Maria Rua

Luigi Napolitano and Maria Rua

Their family

Luigi Napolitano and Maria Rua were the great grandparents of my grandfather on his paternal side. Luigi, like his father before him, was a miller in the Parantoro section of town. He was the son of Antonio Napolitano and Anna Filippo. Luigi was born about 1800 and died in 1833. Maria Rua outlived him by over 30 years. I only have 5 children listed for him so far. I have a number of people whose father was Luigi but since the mother's name was not on the document, I am unable to link them to any family yet. Luigi was the son of Raffaele and Savaria Licciardi

The children of Luigi and Maria Rua are:


  • Filippo born about 1817 died 1907
    married Caterina Nicastro
  • Rosa born about 1824 died 1862
    married Antonio Cairo
  • Giuseppe born about 1825 died 1893
    married Rosina Lucchetta
  • Maria Stella born 1825 died 1902
    married Giuseppe Folino
  • Maria Rosaria born 1832
    married Michele Trotta
