Violent eruptions like the sea quake in 1930 which generated 30-metre waves and a decline in the island's economy have sent periodic waves of its people - 'Strombolani'- to many countries including New Zealand.
Wellington has had its own community of Strombolani for over 100 years. In 2000, the Wellington descendants of the immigrants from Stromboli, one of the Aeolian Islands, held a festival to celebrate their heritage. This led to the creation of a book chronicling their stories, Famiglie Strombolani, which was published the same year.
The 176-page book features stories and photographs on the following families:
Barnao, Cincotta, Costa, Criscillo, Curulli, De Nave, Di Mattina, Famularo, Galletta, Lorenzo, Loschiavo, Luca, Moleta, Monastra, Natoli, Paino, Panettieri, Picone, Russo, Serci, Tesoriero, Toscano, Zame, Zino
Famiglie Strombolani is currently out of print but may be available by contacting Island Bay Little Italy. The National Library of New Zealand also has the book, recored as Famiglie Strombolani in Nouva (sic.) Zelanda.
