Grillo Family from Cerreto Sannita, Benevento

I'm researching my mother's family (Barbieri) that settled in New Haven, CT. There are Grillos and Di Meolas on both sides of my grandfather's (Antimo Barbieri)family. Antimo's mother was Concetta Grillo (b. abt 1845 in Cerreto Sannita). His paternal grandmother was Maria Grazia Di Meola (1809-1880, C.S.) Antimo married Alberta Christina Venditti (b. 1890 in Buenos Aires d. 1925 in New Haven). Her mother was Angela Maria Grillo and her paternal grandmother was Concetta DeMeola).
A note in a passenger list for an Alberta Christina Venditti says that she would be visiting her uncle Antonio Grillo on Broad St. in New Haven. I'm wondering if there is a connection to your family.
