America

Andrea Moschilla departed from Naples on a sea voyage to America to work in coal mines. He left his newlywed wife Cecilia Pedulla in Italy.

Andrea was not a miner. In Siderno he lived his life under an azure sky surrounded by wheat fields, fragrant citrus trees and olive groves.

Andrea Moschilla's voyage to America in the early 1900's was a puzzle. Missing pieces of evidence threatened to keep the story a mystery.

Family tree for Francesco Moschilla and Fortunata Fragomeni was compiled from oral history passed down from Girolomo Moschilla to his son.
