Pippo, how is "well off" in Italy in those days? ie; did they own property, etc.?

[PippoM]

Well, "possidente", or "proprietario" have more or less the same meaning: someone who owns some property (usually land or buildings) and lives on that. One slight difference might be, in the case of land, that "possidente" might actually work his land, while a "proprietario" might just get an income from renting it.
