Re: VIDEO: Decima-Mas San Marco Rgt - April 29 1945
I'm surprised wiki got it right, especially as it pertains to this topic. I really should have added the truth is at the core of their (US) strength. In the many years I worked down there, all good memories, great experiences, great people especially the older generation. I still think they have the...

Re: VIDEO: Decima-Mas San Marco Rgt - April 29 1945
Thank you Bruno for your post. The cities and territories we're talking about here were agreed to in the Treaty of London in WWI - 600,000 Italians lost their lives in that war for these (rightful) territorial claims. Evidently the Allies learnt little from their mistakes, and as people become aware...

Re: VIDEO: Decima-Mas San Marco Rgt - April 29 1945
Happy New Year to everyone and Best Wishes. Thank you Bruno for sharing your story about Don Bonifacio, I appreciate it. I was going to elaborate on Fiume and Dalmatia but I had written more than I expected for Farotti's interview, anyway I'd say Churchill (and the British) stumbled upon the "right"...

VIDEO: Decima-Mas San Marco Rgt - April 29 1945
SLIGHTLY OFF-TOPIC Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. Here's an interview with the late Giorgio Farotti (1921-2007), an officer of the Decima Mas-San Marco Rgt (a large unit operating in Northern Italy) as he describes the final (dramatic) events (not far from where Stefano lives) on April 29 ...

Re: Crash planes still visible?
Italy was a battleground. Many WWII planes have been found over the years in Italy: RA, ANR, Allied and Luftwaffe, all over Italy and are sometimes posted in this forum.

Re: Lombarda A.R guided from witch plane?
Adding to what Richard posted (Richard built the AR model on this site), only a single prototype was built and was not completed to specifications. The prototype having fixed landing gear while the (pre)production models were to be equipped with detachable reusable trolleys (on take-off) and were to...

Re: 26% Vatican Number...
Every person I know who attended Latin mass has said this. The Catholic church is routinely beat up in the US media and a favorite punching bag of Hollywood, I'm surprised net positive is that high but Catholics make a up a large number of the US population.

Re: A Fiat AS.6 roars to life!
Original film footage of the MC.72 on its record breaking flight, note the engine startup (unfortunately its only a few seconds long) and the familiar sounds and exhaust of the same startup at Il Magnete Workshop. Also note Mario Castoldi among the group that greets Francesco Agello after the flight...

Re: A Fiat AS.6 roars to life!
Its great the way they keep the memory of these men and machines going. Even just an engine startup draws a crowd. History is important to them as it should be, it paves the way forward.
