​A Request for Native Speakers of Italian

My name is Alessandra Rosetti and I am a postdoctural researcher at Dublin City University (Ireland). We are looking for native speakers of Italian (18+ years) who live in English speaking countries to take part in a short (about 15min) anonymous online survey. Our goal is to understand their comprehension of and trust in (translated) messages aimed at preparing the public for a crisis such as flooding. The survey is entirely in Italian. To take part, please click here.

Searching for the family of a kwi soldier sheltered by my italian family in italy during wwI

6/23/2018

Buongiorno
I am a member of Club Garibaldi (Wellington) and Circolo Italiano di Wellington and I am hoping you may be able to help me.
My family are from Brische, Meduna di Livenza in Italy. The place is between Treviso and Venice in Northern Italy.
During WW1  the family (Battiston) sheltered and fed a New Zealand soldier from Christchurch. Eventually the soldier walked to Caorole where he took a submarine and started his journey back to New Zealand. He corresponded with the family for a while. In later years, my grandparents Pietro (Peter) and Caterina Battiston emigrated to Lower Hutt, in the Wellington region where they lived the rest of their lives. My grandfather worked for Murphy’s brickworks, was a gardener for a priest and later became a market gardener. He continued to correspond with the soldier who was then in Christchurch. We think the soldier may have been a butcher.
 
I would love to be in touch with the soldier’s family to hear their side of the story and learn a bit more about my family.
I can be contacted at chatscottage@xtra.co.nz
 
Tanti auguri and grazie mille in anticipo.
 Susan Wilde (nee Battiston).
