Hi Roccchina,
It seems that my uncle Domenico has already answered you. There are many Anzanese Colellas in Toronto, and I am one of them. Most of us showed up in Toronto in the 60's and 70's, most are direct immigrants or first generation, and almost all of us are fluent speakers of the anzanese dialect, we still hold certain traditions and visit often. I hope that you will look at the following website:
http://www.comune.anzanodipuglia.fg.it/frame.htmhttp://www.comune.anzanodipuglia.fg.it/frame.htm (in italian)
This is the official website of the town.
My Grandfather was Rocco Colella (died in the 1990's) and his wife Angiolina is still alive in Anzano. I'm starting to document the old traditions in writing and will certainly be visiting the town again in the next few months with my partents and family.
Which city are you in? I know that mnany Colellas and other related families ended up in Boston, SYdney, Melbourne, as well as various spots in Germany, Switzerland, possibly France and Tunisia as well.
Do write me back with your questions.
xo Paul
