One of the things I looked at indicated that Antonio came from a small frazione of Caserta called San Leucio.
He listed on his WWII registration, Caserta...it could be the Province or the town.As it is, a frazione is a "fraction" literally...small town that over time was absorbed into the larger town.
One of the interesting points is that San Leucio is a center of silk weaving in 19th century Italy.This might be a very imporant clue as all those listed appeared to be in the silk weaving industry.
If you go to www.familysearch.orgyou can check out the library holdings of the Family History Library.Part of the holdings include the civil records for San Leucia...these are the birth, death, and marriage records.You ca also find the branch of the library nearest to where you live.You can rent the microfilms and find out if, indeed, Antonio came from that place.Other wise, you could look at the Caserta records and see what you can find assuming the San Leucia records don't prove correct.
If this is indeed the town, the records cover from 1809 so you can track much of the family.
Good Luck
