Quindici, Provincia di Avellino, Italia was founded in the mid 1500's by 15 thieves from Naples. The story has been passed down in my family, and appears (in Italian) on the official Comune di Quindici site. It appears little has changed even today..read this article and you will see what I mean.
Of the 15 original families, the most important to this genealogy are
Scibelli, Manzi, Siniscalchi, Fusco, Santaniello, Cava, Torino, Lumardo, Grasso, Rega, Bossone, Ventre and Scala
