With an Italian flag hanging from their century-old home, members of the Salerno family slowly paraded across their green-carpeted porch Saturday carrying Styrofoam containers of their favorite Italian meals — just like they have for more than 30 years. Every September, family members come together at their homestead on Third Street, which has been in the family since 1901, to enjoy the annual Felittese Festival.
Located next door to the Salerno home, the two-day festival began in the late 1980s and features a variety of homemade foods, including porketta, gnocchi, meatballs, soffritto and tripe. Norah Moon, 13, of Clarks Summit, was the fourth generation of Salerno family represented at the annual get-together. Her great-great aunts, Ann and Rita Salerno, live at the Third Street home. Family members came from across the area and New York.
