You might find the following Italian handwriting samples helpful: https://script.byu.edu/italian-handwrit ... bet-charts

Everyone's handwriting is quite unique anyway so you can only use the chart as a guide as to how different letters may have been formed.

Happy to help, Christine. The script was really tricky.
