Dear Editor: My people, who came to Williamsburg from Pescopagano, Italy, established a Societa’ Operaia San Francesco di Paola of Brooklyn, NY, in the year 1901. (“St. Francis of Paola: An Italian Refuge for 100,” The Tablet, Nov. 17).

St. Francis of Paola is the patron saint of Pescopagano, Potenza. I am writing a book about the Pescopaganesi in America and soul welcome any info about them.
