More about the children
Amalia Riso, pictured here raised her own family in Montalto Uffugo in the Caldopiano frasinone. She is remembered fondly by her grandchildren as always having candies in her pockets for them.
Salvatore went to the United States in 1902 at the age of 21. He was the only person on the ship, The Nord America, from Montalto Uffugo so he travelled alone. It is interesting to note that his ship sailed from Genova and not Napoli like most others who came to America from Montalto Uffugo. At some point he returned to Montalto Uffugo.

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.
Both Letizia and Vincenzo were still living in 1910 when my access to the records ends.
Vincenzo Riso married Letizia Napolitano and Vincenzo's sister Chiara Riso married Letizia's brother Vincenzo Napolitano.
