I thought I'd gather all the information we have in one post, so that those interested can read directly the conclusions we arrived.
However, in doing so, I deleted the comments of those who have heard in his own way to contribute to the public below. I invite you to email me if you have any news for me or if you want more explanations on the search stops at the moment.

Hello ... I too am a "Iommi" .. If I was looking for info on the origin of the name and I came across your site ...
Well I read a bit 'what you wrote ... but my grandfather (who lives in Macerata) spoke to me a few years ago the origin of the name Roma, which has been discovered through the research carried out by specialist companies in this field ...

've already seen: MATRAS Yaron, Romani: a linguistic introduction, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2002? In the reviews I found in http://humanities.uchicago.edu/depts/slavic/papers/Friedman-matras_review.pdf describes the contents of the chapters and it is said that there is also extensive bibliography. The book, just by eye, could come very handy if you need a linguistic analysis, the references might give you some tip for onomastics and the like.
I do not know which libraries near you can find the volume, but simply research on classical and functional OPAC SBN always ... ;)

It was not pretty ... : (It must have been drunk or worse ... which is not justified, of course: D
The coincidence that I came to mind, however, is even more precise, if possible: a young Tony Iommi lost the last two phalanges (or half phalanges, can not remember) of the right hand (for him the "Keyboard", being left-handed) in an accident at work. disheartened, he wanted to stop playing, but when he read that the famous jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt (a maestro in his field! ) played with ring and little fingers atrophied following a fire which was victim was a boy. So even Iommi took courage, and soon after, became one of the greatest riff-maker who knows the history of rock.
The curiosity is that Django Reinhardt was of Roma origin .. : 2 of my fathers siblings alive and my Aunt tells me that my grandfather was from outside of Rome. I am very interested in finding family- as Iommi is such an unusual Italian name- I assume we must all be related. I was born & raised in NY and am the youngest of 7 children. I now live outside of NY, in New Jersey. I am a nurse and my husband is a physician. We have 2 children. Do you live in Italy? You're English is very good - much better than my Italian!!! Thank you for finding me!!! Jeri

Carissima,
ti scrivo ancora anche se non ho novità di rilievo da comunicarti.
Qualora possa esere utile, quale traccia da seguire, per sviluppare il vostro I can tell you that working families Montappone Iommi were and still are active in the processing of straw hats first hour of other materials that best suits the current needs of the people. My family in particular has a long tradition, "Hatter" so much so that we have the machines, I think unique in the world, for the finishing of straw hats. Coal-fired, that the ironing plate was heated with coals which bisognova from time to time to let air to keep them alive. You can imagine how healthy the working environment! Many hatters, in March, April, came to us to stretch, with a fee of a few pounds, the straw hats that were produced and then sold directly in the summer months to walk to the campaigns of neighboring countries (sometimes not even that, in fact I remember that one arrived at a village near Fano and another in Silvi Marina in Pescara).
My father was one of them, we work with that is "played" the health and left us prematurely.
For my family this could not be helped, however, the only income, but sopprattutto continued the tradition of our ancestors.
On these machines, I worked as a child too, although for me it was a game we knew to do. Then I am dedicated to each other and the family tradition: Manufacturers, "batters" (this was the term used for the work you did with those machines ") and sellers si è definitivamente interrotta.
Se questo argomento è utile a qualcosa ho anche del materiale fotografico ed eventualmente posso mettervi in contatto con qualcuno che si interessa da anni delle tradizioni di Montappone. Nicoletta
