You may have already figured this out, but just in case: Cosenza (no N after the O) is a town, in southern Italy's Calabria region. "Commune" in Italian refers to a community or city. Italy has provinces and regions, not states.
Here are some Italian genealogy sites, though I can't vouch for their worth, as I haven't needed them. They include at least one or two with a Cosenza or even Spina link:

And there is this Calabrian site:
