Nicola Colavito?

While I don't have any Colavitos in my family (from Toritto, Bari), there were family friends named Colavito from Grumo Appula, the neighboring town.In fact, I believe the baseball great Rocky Colavito is a descendant of the Colavitos of Grumo (or as my great-uncle pronounced it "Grum.")If any Colavitos out there have any of the following surnames in their families, they may have originated in Grumo-Toritto: Florio, Colasuonno, DeVito, Mitarotonda, Lomangino, Crocitto, LoSquadro, or Cea.
In fact, here's a Colavito I found during a research session:
Rocco Colavito:On January 27, 1854, Rocco Colavito, 25, from Grumo Appula married Pasqua Crocitto, 18, from Toritto.Rocco was the son of the late Vito Francesco Colavito.
