Torino di Sangro - A letter to the father she never met / Scrive una lettera al padre mai conosciuto, by Francesco Flamminio
She was only one year old when her father died in the war in 1943 and was buried in the English cemetery near Torino di Sangro with other 2619 allied soldiers. The 58-year-old lady came to Italy and left a letter on the tomb, a letter which the wind took away. Then prof. Nino Battistella found it, had it plastified and put back in place. The English cemetery is visited by many each year.
