Re: Italian Army
Hi Sal,
I was told that until only recently, all Italian men at the age of 18 were mandated to serve in the military for 2 yrs. Hopefully someone here can provide more info as well.

Re: Italian Army
I was told that any records older then 70 years the Archivio di Stato of (the province he was born) keeps the records, my great-grandfather was born in treia in 1872 and I was told to write to the Archivio di Stato di Macerata and I just received his records in the mail, he only served for two years, he was dismissed when he was 20, what is cool about it is that it has his hight, weight, eye colour, hair colour, etc. it was very exciting to know all that information since I wasn't able to meet him.
Looking for the surnames Mosca( Marches ), Pizzoglio (Piedmonte), Chiacchiera, Lobasso(Bari), Gallo(Malvito), Azzolina (Messina).
Re: Italian Army

Re: Italian Army
Could perhaps one of the Italian speaking people post a proper letter requesting military records?
Here is what I sent. I do not know Italian, however, so I hope it works ok and is enough information. My request is fairly recent, thus I have not received a response yet.
I sent:
si prega di inviare militari record.
Liberato Biagianti.
Nato o Sorano Pitigliano.
18 Ott 1883

Re: Italian Army
Dear Donna I seem to recall that some time before my "sabbatical" from the this forum I furnished you with the website for the form letters concerning Italian records or perhaps I am mistaken (?). In either event the website to go for the form letters is http://www.angelfire.com/ok3/pearlsofwi ... tters.html which has proper form letters in Italian language. The address is obviously known to you since you already have sent a request to the provincial military archives. =Peter=

Re: Italian Army
I revisited the angelfire site, Peter and missed the military part. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for the reminder.

Re: Italian Army
Thanks Chris.. we compiled an email similar to yours as the angel page seems a bit dated and didn't really address the business of emails and didn't have (or I couldn't find) a draft of an email regarding a foglio matricolare
thanks again
thanks again
