The Parrellas and Principis Church in Cassano Caudino

Research of the Civil Records of Roccabascerana revealed that the Parrellas and Principis lived in the hamlet of Cassano Caudino while the Cavuotos lived in Roccabascerana. Therefore, the church attended by the Parrellas, to include Maria Assunta Parrella, was the one located in Cassano Caudino, Chiesa di Sant' Andrea. While the church attended by the Cavuotos in Roccabascerana was destroyed by fire, except the steeple, in 1929, Chiesa di Sant' Andrea still exists as it has for centuries. Like many of the churches in Italy we have seen, it has been recently restored; thus it looks like new.

Linda stands on steps of Assunta's and Gennaro's church, Chiesa di Sant' Andrea, located in Cassano Caudino in the town of Roccabascerana.

Linda enters the Parrellas church accompanied by a Principi who lived across the street from the church. The church caretaker openned the church after calling the priest for approval.

Assunta's Church where she probably got married to Frederico Fedele Cavuoto in 1906.

Linda learns about the church history. They are looking at a marble plaque in the wall telling of a Principi who was a priest and founder of the the church.

Linda reflects on what she is seeing.
