Re: Translate Death Record
No cause of death is mentioned. However, they all were "fuochista".
In Italian, that would be someone who works with steam engines.
However, I found that, in Southern Italy, a "fuochista" could also be a fireworks maker.
So, my guess is that they all died in the accidental explosion of their workshop (that was typically at the floor level of their home).
Very sadly, such accidents still happen, expecially in illegal workshops, that are set up even in residential buildings.
