Hi there,
I have an old Will and Testament (attached) that I believe is Italian. I was wondering if there was someone who could help in translating it for me.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Troy

Re: Translate an old Will and Testament
Yes, it's Italian. I can give you a summary of the content:
Made in Valletta, Isle of Malta,
25 August 1926
Ignazio Zammit , son of Francesco Zammit,
modifies his preceding will as follows (the remaining part remaining valid) :
He orders that from his money at the
Sciclunas Bank be taken two sums of 350 and 1000 pounds and put in two accounts to be used to pay the studies of his descendant
Giovanni Sceberras [?] ;
the first sum to conclude his High school studies at the
Collegio San Luigi, the second to study at a University abroad to the Degree in Medicine.
In case he will leave the studies without concluding the high school or later the university, or he'll decide to study in another field (not medicine)
the remaining sums will be given to the other descendants according to the other parts of the will.
