use a website like photobucket or something like it where you can upload the file somewhere else and post a link to it here that we can just go to it.
Looking for the surnames Mosca( Marches ), Pizzoglio (Piedmonte), Chiacchiera, Lobasso(Bari), Gallo(Malvito), Azzolina (Messina).

There are many words that I do not understand and I left them untranslated:

I am the daughter of Maria Emanuel Veltre married Petrone and my grandfather's name was Giovanni Veltre and my grandmother's name was Lisetta Pennisi married Velter. And I am Emma the daughter who is answering to you and I am 82 years old but sto dalla maltina e la notte con loseigino frenche non sopiro fene but my mind is still lucid, dear Stella, my mother used to to say that I had a brother who was a barber and whose name was Isaia. My grandparents lived in Bagniare and when they died they were buried in the cemetery of chianoghe where my mother was living and she we went lembe atrovne because she was in Pietralcina.

Dear Stella, I live with my daughter, and since she is working I have a woman looking after me. In the picture that you sent me il maselio looks like my brother.

Io initali oriste a un frote
who is the son of Antonietta Chialignio, I wonder if you know him.

me lo soluti finisca oli di scivere e mi vaci Tutti e

I am your niece (or granddaughter).

Ok, still hard to interpret ... however I think I got it 99%!

I am the daughter of Maria Emanuel Veltre married Petrone and my grandfather's name was Giovanni Veltre and my grandmother's name was Lisetta Pennisi married Velter. And I am Emma the daughter who is answering to you and I am 82 years old but I live all day using an oxygen bottle because I do not breathe well but my mind is still lucid, dear Stella, my mother used to to say that I had a brother who was a barber and whose name was Isaia. My grandparents lived in Bagnara and when they died they were buried in the cemetery of Chianche where she was living, my mother was always visiting them because she was (lived) in Pietrelcina.

Dear Stella, I live with my daughter, and since she is working I have a woman looking after me. In the picture that you sent me the male looks like my brother.
I initali saw a brother (could be a friar) who is the son of Antonietta Chialignio, I wonder if you know him,

greet him, I stop writing and kiss to all

I am your niece (or granddaughter, nipote stands for both).
