You really need to know what town your Scala came from in Italy. By the way, which country are you in at present? That makes a lot of difference as to what advice is useful to give to you. You could do an Internet search for Argentina+Italy+genealogy, and you will get many hits, some of which might be useful to you in your family research. Good luck.
