Italy Directories

Directories are alphabetical lists of names and addresses. They often list all adult residents or tradespeople of a city or area.

Telephone Directories
Telephone directories sometimes have city maps and may include addresses of churches, cemeteries, civil registration offices, and other locations that may be of value to you. These directories can also help you determine the areas where particular surnames are common.
