THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MIRODDI
AND ASPROMONTE (CASTELLI) FAMILIES

Ann Miroddi (L) with her father’s first cousin Santa Castelli Aspromonte (R)

Three branches of the Montalto family are intertwined with another family originally named “Castelli.” In this photo you see Ann Miroddi with her father’s (Andrea’s) first cousin Santa Castelli. Andrea Miroddi’s mother was Caterina Castelli, sister of Santa Castelli’s father. Santa Castelli was the mother of two people who married into the Montalto family: Carmen Aspromonte (married to Frank Montalto) and Tony Aspromonte (married to Millie Montalto). Carmen and Tony’s last name would have been Castelli, if their father hadn’t changed the name to “Aspromonte.” All of the daughters of Annie Montalto and Andrea Miroddi, including Ann, were first cousins, once removed, with Carmen and Tony Aspromonte.
