There are 174 Niosi in Italy, and some may be in towns near Lipari. You might check them, looking at corresponding nearby zip codes. The zip code for Lipari is 98055. You can look up the distribution of both names at http://www.gens.labo.net/, both in Italy and in the US. Good luck on your search. Joe in Texas
