Dear Giacomo, sorry for the delay in replying but I'm not very active & reactive.

Attention please: there are also other bibliograpical sources, mostly published very recently, but, often, the infos in these other books aren't coincident with the sources above mentioned Could you understand the Italian language? When I write in english I make some mistakes. I have many things to say about this case (and similar cases, eventually, in the future): it is better if you write to me via email. I'll answer much sooner and we can talk without unleashing the wrath of some trolls. Do you agree? Here is my email sooboss4ou@gmail.com ciao --Kwana the minus (talk) 10:57, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks that is very interesting, I think you have a typo though as I have Genearro, Duke of san Donato dying in 1901 (New York Times obituary) and also is Genarro descended from Francisco Saverio (1733-1791) who inheritted the Duca di San Donato title through his mother. Easier to understand, can you explain how the Sambiase name came to be joined with the Sanserevino and the Amitrano name became lost because I am becoming a confused by contradictory references. That would be really helpful; thanks. Giacomo Returned 11:24, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Better still, could you just add to the page (or email me) a list of all the recognised dukes (from Amitrano downwards) and their relationship (if any) to each other, then I will be able to get my mind arond this. I'm sure I;m not the only confused person reading this. I am making some notes here perhaps you can advise if my deductions are correct. Giacomo Returned  11:29, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, Giacomo, there were some errors and some omissions.
 * With the help of books in my library I have traced the family tree of all the Dukes of San Donato, from the succession of the Ametrano until the extinction of the title in the Sambiase Sanseverino family.
 * I have indicated in bold people who enjoyed the title of Duke of San Donato.
 * In the old pages of "New York Times obituary" you have found the notice of the death of Gennaro (* 1821 † 1901), only called commonly "the Duke of San Donato": please note that this was just the title used under the permission ("titolo d'uso") granted to him by his older brother Joseph (* 1818 † 1908), the only and genuine Duke of San Donato, who was also VI Duke of Malvito and the VII Prince of Bonifati.
 * This distributive use about titles of nobility wasn't correct but was very popular in the great families, especially in the old Kingdom of two Sicilie and in the Papal States, used by some princely families like Colonna, Orsini, Borghese and others, generally used by some houses with a lot of titles and was an use tollerated in the first years of the Kingdom of Italy.
 * Soon I will publish here below the tree promised. Ciao --Kwana the minus (talk) 14:19, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Giacomo, As you asked to me now I tell you my opinion: the page now online about the Dukedom of San Donato now goes very well. It is all ok. I wanted to alert you that there is a typo in the caption of the character portrayed on the picture: the correct name is Gennaro. Ciao --Kwana the minus (talk) 16:19, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you - ammended. The page needs a lot more imformation and anecdotal type information it make it more interesting - will have to see what or who can be unearthed. Gennarro is quite interesting and so it seems was his father, but the stories about the father need a little more referencing and verrifiacation before they can be repeated om Wikipedia. Thanks for all your help so far. Giacomo Returned 21:29, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
