translation of first word

[EllenCatusco]

This is the back of a Italian postcard. Never sent though, meaning no postage marks. On one side is a picture of a young man and this is on the back. Now Agostino Catusco could be my grandfather. But I don't understand the First word and also is that name Fernato Grosso? and isn't that the Male name Raffaele?

This is the young man in photo. Is this a uniform and if yes what one, maybe what year?

And thank you for translation. I could not figure out first word. or how it was supposed to be read.
