While I do not recognize the town as written, there is a good possibility it is a phonetical spelling :-)

If I had to guess something close to what is there, I would say LODRINO...

Here are some links that give you alphabetical lists of comuni (towns/cities) and frazioni (villages) in Italy

Thanks for the reply Tessa, that is an option but looks a little on the short side
The writting is poor, but how were they to know what we would be up to 150 years on!
