The goal of our site is to rescue the memory of our dear immigrant forefathers and mothers and to render homage to their lives. Our forebears had to abandon their homes, families, friends, property, absolutely everything, on their way to a great unknown in a new world. Wars, hunger, plagues, unemployment, and other factors drove them to look for opportunities their native land could not offer. Taking advantage of their considerable mountain skills, willingness to work, and initiative, the immigrants of Capracotta were successful in creating a new future for themselves and for us, their descendants in the Americas.
It is our wish to share new knowledge with their offspring and with others interested in the subject. In addition, we hope this site will serve as a link to Capracotta.
