Daniel Iaciofano posted that his ancestors were from Busso and began leaving in the early 1900s. He said he had used Ellis Island logs and saw the Iaciofano name on a local memorial to the fallen. He asked for help finding Iaciofano relatives in Italy.
Michele Franco Picciano suggested contacting the Comune di Busso and linked https://www.comune.busso.cb.it/busso/hh/index.php. He noted there are multiple unrelated same-surname family branches in Busso.
Carmine Iaciofano advised that a request to the comune should include names and birth dates for Busso-born ancestors, so the office can look for parents and siblings.
Daniel Iaciofano then supplied the following ancestor clue: "Liberato Iaciofano" arrived in the United States in 1908 from Busso, on the ship Konigin Louise, reportedly age 23 at arrival.
Carmine Iaciofano noted the age/date conflict: age 23 in 1908 implies birth about 1885, while a reported death at age 60 in 1933 implies birth about 1873, and recommended finding a tombstone or cemetery record with an exact birth date.
Daniel Iaciofano said Liberato died on 18 July 1933, that his wife was buried there too, and that Liberato died young after being hit by a truck in New York City while working as a traveling food/fruit vendor.
Mikky Coladangelo commented that they are also an Iaciofano and that their father was named Liberato Iaciofano and emigrated to Bedford, United Kingdom.

Things to be careful about

The ship name appears in the supplied thread as "Konigin Louise"; verify spelling against the original passenger-list image.
Treat names of living or potentially living participants as contact/research context only; do not publish private contact details.
The thread's reported age and arrival clues conflict internally and also conflict with the NYC death certificate's age 55 and 42 years in the United States.
