today I've been at my auntie's place and together we looked for photos of young grandma and her. here's some scannings of what we found.
*my great grandmother emilia and my great grandfather cesare.
*ines with her youngest brother: he died when he was only 2.
*young ines with her friends + ines and nino's wedding - note the kissing!
*some of nino's family in australia.
*my grandma and ines with my dad as a young fellow - note the one picturing my dad and his dog jimmy!
*some shots from the '70s - dad as a skinny young man.
*a few pages of two passports of ines, when she was working in switzerland as a waitress.plus, we found a portable record player that my auntie got when she was young. it is still in a decent condition and I hope I will be able to make it work!
wonderful treasures and precious memories.
