The Village of Tregiovo
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Tregiovo, is a small village with a population of about 150. It is located in the Val di Non in the Italian Province, Trentino. The people in this alpine village speak an Italian dialect called Nones. Tregiovo sits at an elevation of about 1000 meters and sits right on the southern border of the German speaking province of Italy, Alto Adige (SudTirol in German). Paul Flaim recently wrote a detailed history of Tregiovo and the Flaims.
Family names historically common in the town are Flaim, Paternoster, Pedri, Micheli, and Eccher. Over the years, there has been a lot of emigration out of Tregiovo. Many from this village left during the early part of the 20th century and settled in U.S., Canada, and parts of South America. In the United States, there are high concentrations of people from Tregiovo that settled in and around Washington, D.C. and New York City. The Washington, D.C. descendants of Tregiovo, to which my family belongs, has expanded over the years to number over 50.
