Both of my dad's parents came from Laurenzana, Potenza Basilicata Province, close to where yours came from. Closest city was the port of Naples..
I thought it was regional, but your forebearers were very close to mine.
It sounds like Laurenzana (south of Potenza) was close to Avigilano (north of Potenza) but they were "gravy" people and mine were "sauce?"

My grandfather came to Ellis Iland in @ 1897 and met grandma here...she had come a little later so it does not seem to be generational either.
