Monferrini in America

Photo Gallery -- Fubine ed i fubinesi

We've been amassing quite a large collection of photos of Fubine and of emigrants from Fubine
in America and England and we'll do our best to get them scanned and into this gallery.
Our hope is that some of you will recognize some of the unnamed people in the pictures
and tell us who they are. If you have photos or information on any of the photos below,
send them to us at btanzilo@yahoo.com.

(Note: the photos on this page are larger than other photos on the site,
so that the faces will be perhaps easier to recognize)

Scoprimento! The unveiling of the monument to the fallen soldiers of WWI
(photos submitted by Kay Lorenzato, London, England)

We believe these photos to be of the unveiling of the monument, erected just after World War I in Piazza C. Colombo, and subsequently replaced after World War II, when the original monument was reportedly melted down. We suspect that the man speaking in the first photo is Romano Vergano,
who was mayor of Fubine from 1919-1922 (and again after the second world war) or, perhaps, G.B. Gambarana.

(Note the fascists in the foreground, making no secret of their politics)

Unione Fubinese of London, banquet
(photos submitted by Kay Lorenzato, London, England)

These photos were taken at a banquet in London held by the Unione Fubinese
(the last photo appears to be of a different event). A few people have been identified.
