Need address of comune for Acquaviva & Gruno Appula

Post by grandamn »

I believe it's Acquaviva delle Fonti and Gruno Appula, is the commune the community or the "town hall"? My grandfater was from Acquaviva and my grangmother was from Gruno Appula.

Also a sample letter for obtaining birth certificates would be much appreciated too. Thank you.
