Picture translation help

Post by wjamflan »

Hello all. Could someone please help with translating the back of an old family photo?

Image

I think it says: "Tanti cordialissi?? mi abbracci di e tutti in famiglia - Tuo ?ar? fratello. Vincenzo DiVirgilio

I think it translates to: Many ???. I love you and everyone in the family. Your ??? brother, Vincenzo DiVirgilio

Am I close? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I'm always open to correction but I would say:


Many cordial??? hugs to you and everyone in the family.
Your dear brother Vincenzo Di Virgilio.

(Abbracciare – to embrace)

cordialissimi

"Tanti Cordialissimi abbracci a te e tutti in famiglia.
Suo caro fratello Vincenzo Di Virgilio"

Edit to Add: It is a little bit deceptive because the last two letters ie "mi" are on the next line. I knew that the word had to be cordial but couldn't work out the spelling, because I was reading the next line as "mi abbracci - I hug".

Happy to help :)
