Translation of Post Card

[bressi123]

Hi, before my grandfather's passing I came across this post card he held on to. It is addressed to my great-grandmother who was the last real connection to our Italian roots on that side of the family. I am having difficulty reading the script and translating. Also, no one in my family knows who the man on the back of the post card is. Hoping the translation will give some light as to who this is. All help is appreciated!! Thank you in advance!!

I keep getting a message when I attach files saying I've reached my quota. Does anyone know how to resolve so I can post the images?

I'm not sure what to tell you about uploading to the site itself. Someone else might be able to give you advice on that. However, you could upload it somewhere else (like imgur) and post a link to it here.

Good point! I made public on google drive.

It's a little disjointed, with the handwriting extending running across the page here and there. Here is my crack at it.

It is addressed to Signora Nicoletta Colucci and her husband.
My dear brothers in law. I am sending you my photograph with affectionate greetings __?_ with your son, as I greet my brothers and sister and their families from here, I send greetings to all our relatives.
Your brother in law, Biagio.

In the top right there is the word “Lombardo.”

By the way, I tried uploading your documents myself and I got the same message. It's saying the board attachment quota has been reached, which I think means it's not your problem. Sounds like the site has hit a limit.

Very interesting! Thank you for you translating! Nicoletta Colucci was my great grandmother. Colucci was her maiden name. Her husband was Paul Bressi. Both were born in Brooklyn, NY. It was each of their parents who came to America from Italy. My great grandparents maintained connection with the family in Italy, which sadly dissipated over time with the passing of both of them. I'm a little unclear on exactly who Biagio would be married to but I am nearly certain this is on the Colucci side since this is basically addressed to her. I also know all of my great grandfather's brothers-in-law, so by process of elimination it's got to be on her side. This is a totally new name for my family tree. My grandfather said Nicoletta had 13 brothers and sisters. Thank you again for translating.
