The first signs of the presence of the Sculco family in Italy, coming from Greece, date back to 1248 even if the actual historical reconstruction begins in 1409 with the arrival in Calabria of Astamet Sculco in Crotone.


Giuseppe Sculco, progenitor of the branch residing in Filandari, son of Bonaventura and D. Angela Albani of Crotone, Cav. of the Crown of Italy, lived very young in Naples where he was at the school of Luigi Settembrini from which he was sent to the Carboneria and involved in the uprisings of 1848; after that he married D. Mariangela Moricca of Filandari and here he fixed his domicile.
