Ciao! Family on my mother's side is from Carlopoli in Calabria. I'm taking her to Italy in a few weeks, along with my wife and two daughters, age 13 and 16, and would like to travel there. We've spent months trying to reach family there, with little luck. Anyone with family or friends in the area who could introduce us would be very appreciated. We have extensive work done on the family tree and have many names - Tallarico, Gigliotti, Pettinato, Greco, Scarpino...the list goes on, as you can imagine :) Thank you very much!

The town looks small enough the mayor likely knows everybody. Worse case phone them and ask.
