I visited Italy, my grandfather's birth village of Vigano, between Milan and Lake Como.
I had taken a postcard he had sent back to my Gran, showing a view of the village in about 1918, he had spent some time in the area with the British army working as a translator.
I visited the record office in the village only to find that their calandar had the same picture on it together with 11 others taken at the same time. (Rather like those books of old photographs of towns and villages that became popular a few years ago.)
What an amazing coincidence!
Sadly the family had left the area and moved to Saronno or Milan so I was unable to trace any living relatives in the few days we spent in the area.
I would love to meet an Italian cousin!
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
