I like Italy, was enjoying beautiful cities and beaches only 2 months ago. I've spoken to a lot of people and also a Dutch business man who ran a Ferrari rent store in Maranello ( Got myself a nice ride there too ) and he told me of the rotten political world and mafia in Italy, I knew about your 'president' before but after hearing his story it was still shocking. He also told me about something which reminded me of the current situation in Belgium, a North vs South conflict and a man who wanted to build a huge wall separating Italy in 2.
Way OT now... hell I hardly speak a word Italian. |

Just a quick hijacking.
My wifes grandfather was in the royal cavalry in Italy and got shot by fascist in Albany 1943. All we got is a photo of him in his uniform. Does any of you italians know where I can get more info about the different troops and their movement etc during ww2? Hoping to id his unit and perhaps get more info about what happened. Maybe a database where I can search on name? I know it ain't aviation but it's ww2. Sorry for hijack. |

the 2nd should be the royal one, the "regimento cavalleria piemonte", can you confirm? Or the 1st, "regimento Nizza"...? Last edited by Cataplasma; 09-02-2011 at 03:48 PM. |

Thanks for your reply. Dunno which regiment. Only know royal cavalry and that they were in Albany when they got the Kings word to return. The fascists wanted otherwise. Is it possible to tell from an old picture which regiment etc? Can't see any badges though.

If you can show me the picture and tell me the name of your grandfather I can try to ask and search...
