Chi potrebbe fornirmi qualche notizia di mio cugino di cui ho perso le tracce trenta anni fà. Il suo nome è: VIRGILIO PITACCO abitava a Campbell - California. Saluto tutti gli istriani sparsi per il mondo.
I am looking for Giuseppe Bencich an his sister Anita
(and/or their children) who went go from Sissano with their family to New
Zealand. They were born in Šišan/Sissano (Croatia-Istria-Pula/Pola). Their
father was Felice Bencich, and grandfather was Giuseppe Bencich (nonno
Jose/Jože). For my father Serafino Benčić from Sissano, I wish find anyone who
can give me a possibility to find them.
In nome di mio padre, Serafino Benčić di Sissano, invio
questo messagio con la speranza di potere avere notizie dei suo cugini: Giuseppe
Bencich e sua sorella Anita (e/o figli) nati a Sissano (Istria, Croazia) negli
anni '30. e partiti con la famiglia (tra gli anni '50.) per la Nuova Zelanda. Il
loro padre si chiamava Felice Bencich; il nonno Giuseppe (Jose) Bencich.

<bodecchi@optonline.net> How can we possibly thank you enough,
Marisa, and Istrianet for all you have done for us "old" Istriani and Fiumani who may be very proud Americans, Canadians, Australians
and other nationalities and yet still feel the undescribable
attachment to that far away land of ours, of our fathers and
grandfathers. May your web site enjoy continued success in 2008.
God bless you.
Sincerely, Bruno Sinosic

<brusinos@sympatico.ca> Facciamo sapere a quei
Polesani che la conoscevano, che Amalia
(Ribarich-Riboni), moglie di Carmelo Perucich è morta a
Melbourne in Australia in Ottobre del 2007, a 96 anni d’età.
Lucida di mente fin
all’ultimo, lamentava il dolore della sua lontananza da Pola, da dove
mancava fino dagli anni dell’esodo e dove aveva sempre sperato, invano,
di eventualmente ritornare e finire la sua vita.
Lei lascia nel dolore nipoti
e pronipoti qui in Australia, negli USA ed in Italia. Sfortunatamente di
alcuni di questi non conosciamo l’indirizzo e speriamo che abbiano
occasione di venire a conoscenza della sua morte tramite questa
inserzione.
Noi, suoi nipoti Warren,
Laura e Sandra Perucich, salutiamo i ‘muli e mule de Pola' e tutti
quelli che le erano amici. Ringraziamo Istrianet se ci concederà questo
spazio.

Obituary annoucement; I sadly would like to inform you that our beloved and
devoted retired president of 14 years and founder of the ‘Associazione Famiglie
Istriane Giuliano-Dalmate di Montreal e dintorni’ “ Giuliana Steffe Pivetta “
passed away this past Tuesday January 8th 2008 at the proud age of 72 years old
after a valiant fight with a disease. She was born in Santa Domenica di Albona
Istria on February 15th 1935 and immigrated to Canada in 1952. It was an honor
to have known this vibrantly colorful active great woman who was intensely
dedicated with her husband Angelo at bringing together socially Istrianis and
their children displaced from their homeland. My best memory is the feat of
hosting the 1995 Raduno in Montreal in the province of Quebec in Canada where
Istrianis from all over the world came together. I wish to thank her for the
time she spent teaching me and many others about our beautiful Istriani culture
and heritage. The funeral services will be held at 14h00 this Saturday January
12th at the St-Leonard Church located at 5525 Jarry est Saint-Leonard (Montreal)
near Lacordaire boul. If you have any messages, memories, stories or pictures
that you would like to share please send them to me I will transmit them to her
family and the club.
