Having problems with the Italian language? Do you need help to translate or understand an old family document? There is always someone who can help you!
This is a child of my direct relative, Domenico Squaserio. It looks like he died in the war. If someone can translate, I would really love to know what it says. Thanks Peonygirl
Heading: Soldiers Fallen in the War 1915-1918
Squarserio, Donato di Pasquale, 144 Infantry Regiment soldier, born 2 Oct 1890, District of Teramo military, died 13 Aug 1916 on Monte Santa Caterina for injuries sustained in combat.
Wow!!! Thank you Mmogno - this is outstanding. It says Umberto, Alanno Piazza - I will work on the translation of the text you sent. It won't automatically translate so that means it is a photo, not text.
What's also interesting to me is that there are several names of my family in this monument. Odoardi, di Gregorio, and Colangelo - none of them directly though except for Donato. Must have been a regiment pulling from local town of Alanno.
Just amazing. I've been looking at the first link - cimeetrincee - and roaming through the archives. I will also look at this blog. I see an Antonio Odoardi - could be a relative as the "original" Antonio ancestor who was a GG a few times over, died in 1834.
The photos of these young men are heartbreaking - so much promise and so young. You've given all of us lots to search, thank you so much!!!!
Thanks! What a great researcher.... I especially appreciate the link as I can open it in my browser and use Google Translate so the whole thing is in English. More good info to digest....P
The older generations who lived in southern Italy certainly remember the sound of the bells or the siren that occurred at various times of the day. Life was marked by simple and repetitive gestures: work, the relationship with nature, sharing with the family and the people of the small villages. Now...
