I found this template on the forum - and I wanted to double check it before I sent it out!
I'm going to try email and a letter.
What should I put as the subject in the email?
Thank you!

Thank you Carmine! I had a feeling that what I wrote for great great grandfather was not correct.
Do you have an idea of what I should write for the email subject?

Re: Will this letter work for writing Torino?
As a subject you can write:
Oggetto: Richiesta documenti
Instead of closing with: "Distinti saluti", I would say:
Vi ringrazio anticipatamente per l'interessamento e porgo distinti saluti
You can just send an email, they will answer. Don't forget to give your e-mail address. If you want to send a letter then you have to write the address this way:
ARCHIVIO DI STATO DI TORINO
ex Ospedale San Luigi
Via Piave, 21
10122 TORINO
Italy
