(ANSA) - BARI, JUN 4 - A letter written by an Italian soldier
on the Russian Front in World War Two has arrived 78 year after
his death there in 1943.
The letter ended up by chance in the the possession of a Mantua
woman, Olga Rosa Davini, who on Friday delivered it to the
granddaughter of the late Lieutenant Vincenzo Fugalli from
Barletta in Puglia, Serena Fugalli.
Barletta Mayor Cosimo Cannito called Davini's work to bring back
solders' bodies and personal effects "a mission charged with
humanity, a lesson of sensitivity which I deem a privilege to
have heard from the voice of the person responsible".
Davini said "I inherited this work from my family and it has
been an honour to hand over the letter to Ms Fugalli". (ANSA).
