Elisa – thanks very much for pointing that out. Not at all what i wanted to translate from

Enlisting the help of my brother I have just fixed:
Perche cercate tra I morte colui che e vivo?

You can see the picture in this post of the inscription also.
Thanks again!

This is a lovely post. And I think the fact that you are hunting for your heritage is admirable and undoubtedly makes for some emotional times!

I am just having some trouble with the quote from your relative who died in the motorcycle accident – your translation into English makes sense and is very poetic, but the original Italian does not. is that really what he wrote? Because even accounting for typos, the translation would be “why do you look among dead dogs who is alive”.

I don’t mean to spoil the mood or anything, I just thought I’d bring it to your attention, since you no doubt wanted to be genuine when including the original Italian! It’s like having spinach in your teeth – as uncomfortable as it may be when someone points it to you, it gives you a chance to fix it and save some embarrassment 🙂

Thank you for this touching story. I hope this place will stay out of mass tourism path, welcoming just those visitors who are looking for real emotion and real life.
