Dear Sir/Mrs.,
my name is Andrea, 35 Italian
man, private researcher from Turin,
North Italy.
I'd like to introduce my business and my internet site
to you.
Reading it you'll know about myself and my love for Italian
history and culture. You can find my website in
"The Italian American Press" website too (www.ItalianAmericanPress.com):
see the Links Directory under the heading of Italian American.
With regard to U.S., I often collaborate with Professor
Philip Cannistraro ("John Calandra Institute",
NY) for historical research in Italy.
About my site, it's structured in this way:
-"Home page"
-"Chi sono" ("About
me")
-"Ricerche" ("Researches":
topics I treat, what kind of people can be interested
in my job, etc.)
-"Tematiche" ("the subjects")
-"Biblioteca" ("Library":
the subjects and all documents/records [Italian books,
Italian articles, original objects, etc.] I have for each
subject)
-"Prezzi" (terms of the service)
-"Contatti" (my e-mail address)
In the opening of the page "Biblioteca/Library"
you'll find the "list of the abbreviations"
("Legenda"). Two of them are interesting:
(OR)= testo, articolo
od oggetto originale (= text, article or original object)
copia (= normal and/or anastatic
copy of original material)
Are you looking for any news/papers/articles/document
about Italian history?
Are you a student, teacher,
professor, researcher,
collector, press-man
interested in Italian history?
Are you a simple keen on Italian
history?
Are you interested in a particular topic regarding monarchy,
fascism, nazism,
holocaust in Italy, Resistance,
WWII or something else?
Would you like to get good copies
(see the material marked with (OR)
and/or copia) of old
newspapers and magazines,
war coloured plates, material
of propaganda, post-stamps,
cards, school
reports, notebooks, coins
(fascist and monarchy period) and all that jazz?
Are you looking for original books,
papers, etc.? (not
included in my Library)
Are you a librarian/administrator
of a museum? Would you like to improve & widen
your Library/Museum?
Well, if you consider my Private Library and/or the possibility
to research historical material in my country useful to
you or to people that you know, are you so kind to spread
the word about my business? Thanks a lot!
Feel free to write me and... I'm looking forward to hear
from you!
Yours sincerely,
Andrea Biscàro
