[edit] Migrations

Some Italian men with the last name Nolle from Nole during the late 1800s migrated to South America and ended up in Lima, Peru where they married locals. The immigrants changed their last name from Nolle to Nole because too many people were pronouncing it as "Noyay". During the mid 1900s the men and women of the Nole families started to migrate to the US where they found their place as an American Citizen.

Some US Careers of the Nole family - Electrical Engineers, Electronics Engineers, Network Security Engineers, and Teachers.
