Thank you for creating this web page. I am so excited about making contact with my roots! My family came from Istria and some of them live in Udine and others in Trieste. my father moved to England and we have now settled here. We have the surname Rinaldi. If anyone knew my family, I would love to get in contact with them. My granny was called Lina and she worked as a seamstress in the vilage milliners with her two sisters and her mother. Her husband (Rinaldi) was a notary republic and they also had a farm and grew grapes. i wish I had more details to share with you! We have recently been approached by the ministero delle eceonomia e delle finanze. We are apparently being offered some copensation for land lost. Does any know anything about this, or been offered anything similar. I am not sure if it is genuine or a scam. Any comments gratefully received.

Ho scoperto da poco il vostro sito e vi faccio le congratulazioni, in quanto è un sito ottimamente impostato ed estremamente curato, non da ultimo estremamente ricco di informazioni. Discendo dalla famiglia Stuparich di Lussingrande e da un po' di tempo cerco di ricostruire la storia della mia famiglia. Sono riuscito a risalire all'inizio del XIX secolo e sarei molto grato se qualcuno mi potesse dare informazioni per risalire al secolo precedente. Ho anche scoperto l'esistenza di Stuparich viventi in Ungheria nel corso del XVII secolo e cerco di conoscere quando e perchè sono giunti da quelle parti; qualcuno sa qualcosa al riguardo? Grazie e molti saluti. Davide Csermely <dacs@wind.it>

My father, Mario, was born in Pola in the year 1930 and moved in 1947 with his family to Italy, in the village of Gandino, in the province of Bergamo, where I was born. It's 11 years that I live in USA and I love it. I never seen Istria but I learned a lot from my family, I even still speak the local dialect, enjoying it very much. If somebody of you knew my dad or his family don't hesitate to write me. I found this site and I can say that is very complete with a lot of information. Oh, I almost forgot: one of my "almost" relatives, Alessandra Fusco, wrote a book titled "Tornera' l'Imperatore", where she tells the story of a girl from Pola, told inside the years immediately before and after the war. I read the book in Italy but I don't know if is available also in the States. Must read it. For now, I want only to say hello to all of you, that even if are unknown to me, I consider a little bit my family. Ciao.

Luigi's father was Andrea Privileggio and mother was Eufemia Massarotto. Pietro and Luigi came out to Australia in November 1949.

Sono Lis Giugovaz, vivo in Argentina. Cerco informazione degli istriani
con i cognomi GIUGOVAZ per il mondo. Ho famiglia in Trieste, Argentina e Veneto.
Mi piace molto l'Istria!!! saluti da Parenzo a tutti paolo cernaz <paolo.cernaz@tin.it> I greatly appreciated the site. Thank you for your website and all the effort you have put into it. Dennis D Perusko Mi chiamo Nella GOVELLI, nata a Pola nel 1938, figlia di Lidia e Antonio. Come tante altre persone ho dovuto lasciare la mia terra natìa e imbarcatami con il Toscana, insieme ai miei, abbiamo raggiunto Bologna. (Campo profughi - Via Cirene, 2). Bologna in quanto mio padre, mutilato di guerra, avrebbe trovato curasso l'ospedale. Mia mamma è poliomelitica dall'età di 3 anni (ora ne ha 94). Avrei piacere di avere notizie di una famiglia e piùcisamente i signori ZAVATTIERO in quanto la signora era molto amica di mia mamma Lidia (che a quel tempo era incinta di mia sorella nata poi al S.Orsola di Bologna). Io giocavo e andavo a scuola con la figlia della signora ZAVATTIERO e ricordo che per andare a a scuola dovevamo attraversare 8 binari del treno. Dopo 3 anni di campo, ospitati in una specie di stalla di cavalli, abbiamo lasciato Bologna per andare dalla nonna a Trieste. P.S.: Conoscevamo anche i signori SCALA. Se qualcuna ha notizie di questa famiglia ZAVATTIERO mi farebbe piacere avere un contatto. Ringrazio infinitamente e mando un saluto dall'Italia. Nella GOVELLI
NELLA GOVELLI <wombat@adriacom.it> Istrians watching Croatian National Television today got a rare treat. And, while checking out their live streaming link (click here), I got to see it as well. Back in 1970, one of the most popular summer songs on the radio (in many parts of the world) was "In The Summertime," written by Ray Dorset, lead singer of the band Mungo Jerry. And over 30 years later, the song still retains popularity ... and is even marketed as a popular "ringtone" for cellphones. Ray and his band are now in Croatia and they performed "In The
Summertime" for the audience at Studio 10 in Zagreb. The video is a little
choppy in places ... but, if you have broadband, click here to see the 4-minute
streaming video of Mungo Jerry's performance. Or, if you only have a modem,
click here and wait for the
short 4-meg file to download and start playing. (RealVideo required) I was very impressed and moved by the things I found at Istrianet.org. It's a great site and brought back many pleasant and some unpleasant, memories from my childhood. Of course, Befana is my favourite one! I would be pleased to hear from any other Istriani da Sanvincenti. Ciao. Mario Sergi
Mario SERGI <VE6WOP@rac.ca> Just wanted to let all know that I, Mario Martini, was born in Pola,
Istria, on Dec. 8, 1941. that is why my first name is now Mario, otherwise
it would have been Fulvio. But Dec. 8 is the day of Mary, Immaculate
Conception. To this day I live in the same area. Would love to communicate with any other Istriani. Mario Martini <mariomartini@comcast.net> HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THE ISTRIANI, FAMILY AND FRIENDS AROUND THE WORLD ESPECIALLY NEW JERSEY, TRIESTE, MONFALCONE, GOLUBICI, CALDIR, MONTONA, STANZIA FLEGO, RESARI, LIVADE, LUBIANI, PISINO, AUSTRIA, CAPODISTRIA. BUON ANNO A TUTTI!!!!
LINETTE BASIACO <linettebasiaco@wxc.com.au> Carrissimi amici, dear friends, dragi prijateli, Rinnovo i miei auguri di buon anno 2005 a tutti voi e colgo l'occasione per segnalarvi un appuntamento interessante sulla Televisione Croata 2° canale. (HTV2) Nel paese di Caldier vicino a Montona resiste una tradizionessoché scomparsa nel resto dell'Istria, ovvero quella dei "3 Re d'Oriente che videro la Stella..." (Kaldirski Kolejani) Quando ero piccolo e ancora recentemente mia nonna mi raccontava di questa bella tradizione che accompagna la festività dell'epifania. https://www.istrianet.org/istria/customs/winter/epifania.htm Alle ore 19.00 (fuso orario di Zagabria) viene trasmesso un documentario su questa tradizione. Sul 2 canale della Televisione Croata. (HTV2) https://tv.phazer.info/?kanalID=2&datum=2005-01-06 Il documentario ripropone le immagini registrate durante la processione dello scorso anno nella parrocchia di Caldier, e i suoi villaggi: Prodani, Bertossi, Laze, Gali, Cvitki, Stefanici, Bertossici, Paladini. Penso che sia una buona opportunità per chi sia interessato. Nuovamente buona epifania a tutti. Dario
Dario Prodan <proledario@email.it>
I am interested in my family tree, my mother was born in Lipa her relation was Ivan Kalcic and her father was Antonio Kalcic. They escaped Lipa to Trieste because of the WW2.
