Garabaldino documents

Post by Veronesi-Guardini »

Hey everyone

I wonder if anyone could have a go at trying to dechiper this handwritten text regarding my great-great-grandfather Luigi Veronesi-Guardini

We obtained it from the museum in Riva del Garda where he was born and lived. We know he served as a volunteer for Garabaldi between 1860-1866, and have a few printed letters to that effect. This one however is handwritten, and not particularly neatly at that. I wonder if someone is kind and brave enough to try and decipher the general meaning of it

I would be very interested to hear from you

All the best

Louis

Ciao Suanj
si potrebbe, però ci sono 3 puntini sulla parola, come se nel nome ci fossero 3 i, quindi il dubbio mi rimane (anche se, in fondo, è poco importante ai fini delle informazioni familiari che Louis può ricavare dal documento).

Thank you all very much for your efforts!

Thank you elba for the English translation :)

It seems he was always a soldier. On another similar document, he is listed as fighting from 1860-1861, 1862-1865 and then again in 1866

The late father is what we assumed, as he was Domenico Veronesi, and after his death, Luigi was taken on by his aunt and uncle, who were Illuminato Guardini and Margarita Perini

Thanks again!
