Luigi Napolitano
Luigi Napolitano and Maria Rua were the great grandparents of my grandfather on his paternal side. Luigi, was a miller in the Parantoro section of town. He was the son of Antonio Napolitano and Anna Filippo. Luigi was born in May, 1798 and died in December, 1833. I have found 8 children for them so far. Luigi was the grandson of Raffaele and Savaria Licciardi

Maria Rosaria Rua
Maria Rosaria Rua was born in Montalto Uffugo in April, 1801 and died in 1864. She was the daughter of Giovanni Rua (who was the son of Gaetano)and Caterina Saullo (who was the daughter of Rosario). She married Luigi Napolitano on May 16, 1816. Maria Rua outlived him by over 30 years. She never remarried. The surname Rua is linked to the local surnames of Valdesian roots.
Although Luigi's life was short - he died at the age of 35 he had 8 children and hundreds of descendants including me.
Maria Rosaria Rua was the daughter of Giovanni Rua (born about 1771 and Caterina Saullo (born about 1776). Their other children include Gennaro Michele, Chiara Rosaria and Gaetano Maria.
I descend from Luigi and Maria's son Filippo who lived to the age of 88. He was married to Caterina Nicastro.
