Sassano to Chicago is a genealogy resource for those with ancestors from the southern Italian town of Sassano in the province of Salerno in the region of Campania who settled in Chicago. John Cavallone is one of those descendants and is working toward helping others discover their heritage! My goal is to provide the definitive resource for the Sassano families that settled on Federal Street in the early 20th Century. I am confident my continued work here will provide that resource to you. I encourage others of Italian descent to research and document your family history to preserve it for future generations.

If you find any material on this site helpful, I am accepting donations to help continue the research via PayPal Thank you!

I encourage all fellow paisano to document their family history before it is lost forever. The Casa Italia Florence Bartolomei Roselli Library is helping preserve our history through their "Saving Our Stories" initiative.

If you are of Sassano heritage and would like any photos from 1900 (or earlier) to 1950 posted on this site, please contact me at cavallonegenealogy@gmail.com
