I remember growing up and my Aunt proudly showing me the beautification papers for St Alberico in the 1950's. He was from Altavilla where my Grandfather grew up. I was told he was my grandfahers brother. Their common ancestry and ages would give validity to my Aunts story, prior to her passing. Indeed, I would be proud if substantiated.
In Christs Name, Mark Crescitelli
ST,Alberic Crescitelli, was my grandfathers uncle or cousin. I don't remember for sure, which one!!!
