Italian Genealogy Spotlight: Benvenuto a Lettomanoppello e Roccamorice

Years of browsing the internet for Italian genealogy focused content, has made me aware of many great websites. Today I am starting a new weekly series, "Italian Genealogy Spotlight", which will share these websites with Italian Genealogy Blog readers. Moving forward, each Wednesday will now spotlight an Italian genealogy themed website created by others who share my passion for Italian heritage.

The initial entry of the new "Italian Genealogy Spotlight" series is focused on the Comune's of Lettomanoppello and Roccamorice in the Province of Pescara, Abruzzo. This wonderful site called "Benvenuto a Lettomanoppello e Roccamorice" was created by Bonnie Rulli and the late Sara Addario. The content is a great example of a focused online legacy pertaining to a specific Comune (Village).


Roccamorice is the home of my maternal great grandmother, it's a natural place to start this new spotlight series. Bonnie Rulli continues to update and maintain this slice of Italian heaven on a regular basis. It has become a hub for natives of these respective villages and an online presence to keep them connected. I couldn't think of a better website to start this new series and I'm sure you will enjoy exploring it, even if your family hails from another village.

Ciao, Michael
