Birth:          2 Feb 1810 Caserta, Italy
Death:          26 Dec 1879 Tuoro, Caserta, Italy

Notes
Also had a child Maria Grazia, born 1842.
He is recorded as the son of a foundling
Also, his marriage certificate to Maria Antonia Natale refers to his origins as genitori 
ignorati (unknown parentage)

familysearch record of his marriage to Antonia Natale says he is born in Signora and 
she is born in Tuoro (and marr cert says same thing)
his second marriage is 8 Oct 1842 in Tuoro, Caserte, Italy (parish of Santo Stefano), 
to Maria Antonia Natale. She is b 20 Aug 1818. dtr of Carlo Natale and Maria Rosa 
Castiello (figured it out by going to familysearch), who md 1813 in Tuoro, Caserta. (He 
is son of Tommaso Natale and Maria Rosa Postiglione, md 7 Jun 1813 in Caserta, 
Caserta, he age 20 (b 1793), she age 16 (b 1797)).

 Children were Carlo Antonio (b 1843), Giovannia Antonio (b 1845), Francesco Antonio 
(b 1848, d young), Francesco Antonio (b 1850), Maria Grazia (b 1852) (which suggests 
that the first child by that name had died), and Maria Rosa (b 1855).

On birth certificate of Carlo Antonio living in Garzano, parish of Santo Pietro. Ditto for 
Giovanni Antonio Andrea Zappone. For Francesco Antonio Stefano Zappone (b 1848), 
they are in parish of Santo Stefano in Tuoro, Caserta. Ditto Francesco Antonio 
Andrea, and Maria Grazia Rosa, and Maria Rosa

Giovanni married 29 August 1870 Rosa Tommaselli of Naples and in 10 Oct 1872 
Maria Carfagna of S. Maria Capua vetere.

Note that frequent use of Antonio for children of both marriages suggests a clue as to 
what Dominic thought his father's name was? Why the triple name for Nicola Rocco 
Antonio?

Naming patterns suggest father of Domenico OR of Maria Zampells is Nicola and the 
other father is Antonio, and that the mother of one is Grazia and of the other, Rosa.

His birth affidavit has testimony of Luigi di Blasio and Giuseppe Bosco
It also shows he was given three names separated by commas: Domenico, Biase, and 
what appears to be Sabapiano

Marriage record says he is 28, a peasant, living in Garzano, 

birth certificate of Nicola is from San Pietro Parish in Garzano. Same for Maria Grazia 
b 1842.

Italy Marr 1809-1900 on fam search

In Caserta there are families named Zuppone and Sapone (per familysearch indexes, 
could be misreading of actual document), with marriages with families also in the 
Zappone line. E.g.,
Giuseppe Zuppone b 1802 son of Domenico Zuppone and Maria Camporeale, md 20 
Dec 1837 Caserta, Maria Cardella b 1796 dtr of Antonio and Matrona (Di Lella) 
Cardella, md 19 Aug 1847 Caserta Maria Antonia Mazzarella b 1821 dtr of Pietro and 
Maria (Di Prisco) Mazzarella
There are several hundred Sapone entries in Caserta Province on familysearch
The Phoenixville Sappones show up as Sappone on the 1930 census

Death cert of Domenico Zappone in Tuoro records on familysearch. Gives parents as 
unknown, age 80, his wife Antonia Natale is alive

So who is the Domenico Zappone who died in Caserta 13 Feb 1912, age 63 (b 1849), 
born in Caserta, son of the late Giuseppe Zappone and the late Antonia Mazzanella, 
husband of Fortuna d'Agostino?
