Trying to find Great Great Grandparent's Grave Translation

Post by handle87 »

Hello,

My great great grandparents are in a tomb in Partanna. I'm trying to find more information but don't know how to read this or where it is, other than Partanna. Can anyone help? I would be so grateful.

There isn't much info to work from. The front has the studio name and the back just says November 2, 1952 and indicates that it's Pop and Mom Leonardi's vault. That said, there is only one active cemetery in Partanna, and it's almost certainly there. Here is a link to where it is and some images.
