Amandola (Marche)

Panoramic view of Amandola

Amandola is a town in the Province of Fermo, in the Italian region Marche. It is located at 550m above sea level within the National Park of the Sibillini Mountains, and it used to be called the East gate of the Park. The city was founded in 1248 by the union of the castles of Agello Leone and Marrubbione, which formed a free municipality. There are many things to see in Amandola, and the town itself is a gem. Its old historic centre includes different architectural styles. Its large territory, made up of many different hamlets, gives the town a mystical and mysterious touch. The town was damaged by the earthquake in Central Italy (near Amatrice) on 24 August 2016.

Hello. I hope it is OK to post this enquiry here.  I am trying to trace my family history to Cupra Marittima . My great grandfather was Lou/Luigi Luciani believed to have been born around 1866. His father's name might have been Eugene, and his mother Maria Paccasassi.
