translation help

Post by johnmilano »

Hi,

I found this written on the back of a picture of my
great grandfather and a (unidentified) friend.
I'm not sure if my great grandmother Antoinette wrote
it, or if my great grandfather (Cosimo Aiello) wrote it:

any help?

this is the front of the picture:

It looks like an address. 30 Duglosse (maybe Douglas) St and then a name...Cirrincinni Pietro?

Is there such a street near near where your grandfather lived? Maybe you could check into it. It may just be where the picture was taken.

Not sure what it would mean. Hopefully someone else can help. Now, I know you didn't ask for this but I couldn't resist. Just learning how to use my photo imaging program so I used your grandfathers picture as a "pilot" if you will. Hope you don't mind. If you do, then I'll remove it.

There is a Douglass Street in Brooklyn. Name could be Pietro Cirrincione. There's a few Cirrinciones listed in whitepages.com

Nuccia,

I don't mind, it looks good! amazing.

Biff,

yes there's a Douglass street, and that could very
well be where it was taken. and the name seems
to be Pietro Cirrincione, so it must have been a friend
of his. Any ideas of the above in blue ink ?

thanks!
JOHN

I can't make out the first full word but could what I think is giacco sono io translate as "I am the jacketed one" or "I am the one in the jacket"?
