They lived on 12th Street. My father Emilio (aka William) Russo was baptized at Holy Rosary Church on November 18th, 1913 by Rev. G. Spadaro and the sponsors were Vincent Giordano and Nunziata Magistris. My grandfather was previously married (or not) and had children with the surname Esposito, the Esposito's lived in Hoboken.<br /><br />Bill Russo<br />viabravo@msn.com<br />tel. 347-933-3337 Fabintrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823982929899971040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662791747588801085.post-26204880150704524232013-06-04T09:37:31.824-07:002013-06-04T09:37:31.824-07:00That Madonna is La Madonna del Sacro Monte di Pols...That Madonna is La Madonna del Sacro Monte di Polsi from southern Calabria, not the Madonna del Sacro Monte of the Cilento.

That statue is original to the church, incorporated in 1927. Its on the Right Center side, when you enter the church. <br /><br />Nick GrilloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662791747588801085.post-3186015134292728922012-06-10T06:18:52.556-07:002012-06-10T06:18:52.556-07:00this is an email that corrects some info in this p...this is an email that corrects some info in this post. I didn't feel like changing any of the sentences of the post, or the way too complimentary compliments of the email.<br /><br />Just read your excellent article. Just for clarification, Cilento is a region of villages and not one village. Also Monte Stella and Sacro Monte are two different places right next to each other and both have hilltop sanctuaries to the Virgin Mary. They are about ten miles apart. They are the two tallest mountains in the region. NATO has a satellite base next to the church on Monte Stella. Sacromonte is by far the more popular shrine. Thanks again. You are a gifted writer.<br /><br />By the way, that statue was missing for over ten years. I though odds of finding it were one in a hundred billion.<br /><br />Pat O'BoylleMr. Tim Hrkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485390021618369831noreply@blogger.com
