 Many Cantalupo's inhabitants emigrated to North America, Australia, South America, and other places following both the Great War and World War II.A substantial population of "Cantalupesi" settled in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and Anaconda, Montana, United States, where they founded and still maintain the "Associazione di Sant'Anna di Cantalupo", named in honour of the village's patron saint, Saint Anne, Christ's maternal grandmother.She became Cantalupo's patron following an earthquake on July 26, 1805 (which is the feast day of Saint Anne), that miraculously ended when the Saint's statue was taken out of the village church of San Salvatore.
