I am looking for the names of the people who lost there homes in the villiage of Vagli Sotto. My grandmother was one of those but I do not have the address of where she lived.
Here is the link to Vagli Sotto. You will find the address and phone # for the city hall. I do not see an email address...
That may be the place to make your inquiry.
Ciao sonson, you are looking for the people who lost their home in Fabbriche di Careggine, not in Vagli Sotto.
Fabbriche di Careggine was a little village whose inhabitants were obliged to leave it in the '50 of the last century as it was decided to create a dike there. It was at that time that was create Vagli Sotto lake. Fabbriche di Careggine was near Vagli Sotto, but the municipality was Careggine.
The people who lived there emigrated from Fabbriche di Careggine who is now known as the ghost village who reapper every 10 years when the lake needs to be cleaned. ( sorry for my english ).
Your grang mother, Lucrezia Fazzani was born in Roggio, a little village near Vagli Sotto.

There was hard rock gold mining that seemed to be the reason some of the town's men first went there.
