<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aaroncab, post: 391815, member: 3974&quot;]Unfortunately I have letters from my own Italian relatives who&#039;s handwriting I can&#039;t make out either! I&#039;ll take a stab here although I&#039;m not coming up with much. Also there could be some variations in spellings/entire words based on differences in local dialect...so yeah <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So my interpretation of the spellings goes like this:</p><p><br /></p><p>linghrie per darine?</p><p>WC - minnie or vinnie e</p><p>cappsule</p><p>---------------</p><p>Partigiano</p><p>Negrini</p><p><br /></p><p>The first word looks like &quot;linghrie&quot; which means &quot;railings&quot; - but I&#039;m not sure given the handwriting. Then we have &quot;per&quot; which is usually &quot;for&quot;. After that I can&#039;t make out anything that seems to be an actual word but maybe &quot;darine&quot; - which doesn&#039;t mean anything to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>The next line starts with WC - which pretty much universally(in Europe) stands for &quot;Water Closet&quot; meaning a toilet/shower more or less. I don&#039;t know if in this context it means something else. Now we have another word I can&#039;t quite make out. Looks like &quot;minnie&quot; or &quot;minnio&quot; or &quot;vinnie&quot; or vinnio&quot; none of which make sense to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now we have &quot;e cappsule&quot; - so &quot;and capsules&quot; - I assume &quot;capsules&quot; could perhaps mean &quot;small rooms&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then we have as you said &quot;Partigiano&quot; in this case used as a title for a resistance fighter. and then underneath I&#039;m assuming is your family name? Negrini?</p><p><br /></p><p>Probably not giving you a lot of help here but that&#039;s about all I can make out. Good luck - and that&#039;s a great picture by the way. You&#039;re lucky to have it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
