Hi Glen
Sorry for the very last response but I have only now been able to read my messages, apparently it was due to a computer fault.
Thanks for getting in touch and yes I would love to read your info. I went to Italy about 2 years ago and one of the places I visited was Livorno, in Tuscany. Never made it up to Tirano as we ran out of time. Yes I would say it would be a very wise move to learn the language as I came unstuck afew times.
My mum was a Moratti before she married and has a wealth of information on the family, her dad was Peter.
Cheers
Heather
