Castiglione Cosentino is town and comune in the province of Cosenza in the Calabria region of southern Italy. The Rocco family are from there. Most of them remained in Italy. Every year at the end of August and beginning of September they hold a feast called Parole sott'olio, its about a contest about a dialect that is chosen to be the word of the year. Dialect speaking its still strong in Calabria.
