Decoding a signature

Post by seanrusk1989 »

Any and all suggestions would be greatly, greatly appreciated! We're trying to figure out who sent this postcard and we think the first name may be Siano, but we have no clue about the surname.

Maybe Riscosso. The beginning looks to be Riscoso..

If it is not too personal can we view more of the same script. What town in Italia was the family from? May help.

Hi Angela,

If I had more that I could share, I would. This is most writing we have from this person. They wrote several postcards and signed them with just their first name; this is the only one that appears to have a surname. The family they were writing to lived in Catania, if that helps?

If it helps, here's the clearest writing of the first name.

Thankyou. I would agree with Riscassi, as Erudita has written, because really the fifth letter could be either an a or o. Everything else adds up except the last letter which isn't so clearly written.
