I contacted a person from Torre le Nocelle who has a homepage on the Internet. Here's his answer. I found it quite interesting: ITALIAN Ti sembrerà strano.... ma se è quel Pasquale Capone che dico io se lo ricordano in parecchi ancora qui. Il cognome è comune, ma questo in particolare è conosciuto per una serie di anneddoti e per il fatto che è stato uno tra i primi Presidenti del Circolo Operaio Torrese che fu fondato con l'aiuto finanziario di emigrati Bostoniani. Fallo mettere in contatto con me.... Qui dovrebbe avere ancora dei parenti ENGLISH You'll probably find it strange.... but if he the Pasquale Capone I think, well, there is a lot of people who still remember him. The 'Capone' last name is a common one, but this particular person I'm talking about is well known for a series of stories and because he was one of the first presidents of the Torrese Workers' Circle. This circle was founded with the financial aid of some Bostonian emigrants. Have him contact me. He should still have some relatives here. Well, I really really hope that's the same person. Let me know if he is, Ciao Fabio
