Records of Gordevio show that Pietro moved his family from Vogorno, Switzerland in Valle Verzascha to Gordevio, Switzerland in about 1862, approximately the same year that his younger brother, Giuseppe Barnaba Morelli arrived from Lierna, Italy. Pietro’s 4th child, Giuseppe Antonio, was born in Gordevio about 6 months before the birth of Giuseppe Barnaba’s first child, Carlo Franceso, in January 1864. Pietro and his family returned to his birthplace, Lierna, Italy, probably around 1866. In 1868, Pietro’s son, Guiseppe Antonio, died in Lierna, Italy at the age of 4, probably from diphtheria, and we know Pietro’s wife, Teresa, died in Lierna on January 5, 1877. Guiseppe, his younger brother, left for the USA in 1874.
