Luigi DiRenzo (1895-1912)
Luigi DiRenzo, the oldest child of Giuseppe DiRenzo and Maria Vittoria d'Alessandro, "came in June and drowned in August" (Esther Valente). He had gone swimming in Camden. When I visited to Gambatesa with Luigi's oldest sister Nunziata, she made me promise her not to go swimming. Luigi is buried in Calvary Cemetery, Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
