Italian phonebook let us estimate where Turianos have settled in Italy. It doesn't tell us how many Turianos live in Italy, anyway, considerating that Turiano is not one of the most spread family name (like Rossi), looking at the most density of Turiano in some areas, we get important informations about the family's origins.
Here is the report of a research done in January 2000 by my brother Giovanni54 (#199) about phone subscribers:

Italia 181

• Sicilia 113
  • Messina 73 - Catania 27 - Siracusa 7 - Caltanissetta 7
• Calabria 27
  • Reggio Calabria 22 - Cosenza 2 - Vibo Valentia 1 - Catanzaro 1 - Crotone 1
• Lombardia 13
  • Milano 11 - Bergamo 2
• Campania 6
• Napoli 3 - Caserta 2 - Avellino 1
• Lazio 6
  • Roma 4 - Latina 2
• Piemonte 6
  • Torino 3 - Asti 1 - Cuneo 1 - Novara 1
• Veneto 5
  • Venezia 4 - Rovigo 1
• Emilia-Romagna 2
  • Modena 1 - Piacenza 1
• Liguria 1
  • Genova 1
• Trentino 1
  • Trento 1
• Marche 1
• Macerata 1

Observe that most Turiano's density is in Eastern Sicily where family origins are, I suppose. From here, almost surely from Messina's province, one or more Turiano's families moved to the other side of the Strait settling in the headtown (more than in the rest of the RC province) of Reggio Calabria: almost all Reggio and its province Turianos know that their origins were in Sbarre district (South Reggio) where their fathers, granfathers and ancestors were "giardinari" (giardino=garden, meaning and half squared mile cultivated land, a little farm where citrus fruits were the mainly grown). They were witness of an ancient rural vocation of the Turianos.
Today I am looking the broken ring of the chain that connects Turianos from Reggio Calabria and Turiano from Sicily. The only track I have was given by Angelo12, #191, (in April he's going to celebrate his 90th spring), who remember that his uncle Demetrio, #12, parish priest of S. Maria del Soccorso in Reggio Calabria, used to spend his holidays with his relatives in S. Teresa di Riva (ME), while it seems that Angelo's father Francesco #22, because of the terrible earth and sea-quake that upsat Reggio and Messina in 1908, had given up to find his sicilian relatives definitevely, because of the perpetual fear that people lived in after the catastrophe.
I verified with a great pleasure, in the church records, that Demetrio #12 was parish priest between 1876 and 1902, ten years before Angelo12 #191's birth. He probably had few contacts with his uncle, but saved family's memory jealously. Those oral memories that are handed down from father to son.
Which are, at this point, the hypothesis about our family origins? Read next notes ...
