    Birth of Vittorio Valente, brother of Almerico. He was born in Cassino in 1870. He came to Scotland where in 1901 he was running a confectionery and tobacconist shop at 130 Morrison Street in Edinburgh with his wife Elizabeth Stevenson who he had married in Edinburgh in 1898. By 1911 the family had moved to 2 Munro Place and Vitorrio now with surname Valenti, was now a fish and chip shop proprietor. The family visited DETROIT in the USA briefly in the year 1914. They were only there a couple of weeks before returning to Edinburgh. Perhaps visiting a relative
    • Caroline Valenti 1875-1884. Sister of Almerico
    Gregorio Valenti 1879-1918. Brother of Almerico. Tragically died in France and Flanders. He was married briefly to Catherine Stevenson but both she and the baby died whilst she was in childbirth in 1904.
    • Francesco Antonio Valenti. 1885-1962. He moved to Surrey. His wife may have been called Philomena but more research needing done on this side

    There are other branches of the Valenti family in Scotland and who probably are in one way or another related back in Cassino and beyond. Know there are Neri and Risi connections. There is a branch in Kirkcaldy who say that they have been there since 1921.
