The family

No family chart is drawn for this person, and that is a statement about the data rather than about them. This archive records kin against a name — the tree on a name page gathers everyone who shares it, so it may hold one person's dates beside another's wife. Rather than hand a reader a family that might not be this person's, the chart is drawn only where the relationship is recorded person by person, which today means the direct line.

What the archive knows

«MANDI MIUTA» — and the language on the stone is Friulian. > DE FRANCESCHI MARIA TERESA ved. FIORENCIS 1913 – 2001 — MANDI MIUTA — and «I TUOI CARI» cut into the kerb below. Read 29 September 2026 from David's photographs of the Carnian cemeteries. (doc.) ⚠ «Mandi» is the Friulian farewell — goodbye, and also a greeting; the word a Carnian says at parting. «Miuta» is what her people called her. So the last line of this stone is not Italian, it is the language of the valley, and it is a nickname. That matters beyond one grave. At Gologorica a broken slab closes in Slovenian; here a stone closes in Friulian; the monuments of Carlo's family are cut in Italian and the Umag slab in Italian too. Four languages across this archive's cemeteries, and each of them chosen. «Ved. Fiorencis» — widow of a Fiorencis. ⚠ A «Benedetto Fiorencis» was read on the Svetvinčenat marriage film and set aside as a Carnian family not ours; here is that surname again, in Carnia, married to the name. This archive notes it and claims nothing from it.

No one else in this archive carries this name.
