Descendants
Avitabile's family is spread throughout Naples and the United States, where his name was changed to "Avitable" by registrars at Ellis Island, who were misinformed by a typographical error on the passenger manifest from the Italian Steam Navigation Company.
Not all Avitabiles in the United States have had their name changed. There are still many with the original last name.
