PRINTED MATTER BETWEEN ITALY & ISRAEL
Piero Cividalli

My uncle Giorgio, my father's brother, was also an engineer who specialized in the railways. My maternal grandparents, Giuseppe D'Ancona and Alice Orvieto, were landowners and my grandfather, a well-respected agronomist, was also a consultant to various patrician properties around Tuscany.

ARCHIVES ENZO SERENI & HABONIM DROR
