What the archive knows

Killed as a civilian in the Carnian valleys, and his name is cut on two memorials. > GUERRA 1940 – 1945 — CIVILI CADUTI 1 E 2. XI. 1944 — STRADIOTTO ANGELINA · DE FRANCESCHI EGIDIO · FABRIS GEOM. GIOVANNI · FABRIS TULLIO · FELICE GUIDO · GALLO ETTORE · MICOLI ELIO — «F. F. 19 - 9 - 1954», the memorial set up nine years after. > NOVEMBRE 1944 — MAGGIO 1945 — DE FRANCESCHI EGIDIO · FABRIS GIOVANNI · FABRIS TULLIO · FELICE GUIDO · GALLO ETTORE · MARIN ANTONIO · MICOLI ELIO · NOT ANTONIO · NOT LINO · NOT SECONDO · PALMA ELIGIO · PIEMONTE PAOLINO · STRADIOTTO ANGELINA · TIMEUS GUERRINO — a second stone, in a second cemetery, with fourteen names and no separation of soldier from civilian. Read 29 September 2026 from David's photographs of the Carnian cemeteries — Ovaro, Mione, Muina and Agrons. ⚠ Which of the four cemeteries this stone stands in is not distinguished in the photographs, and is not guessed here. (doc for both.) ⚠ His name heads the civilian list on both stones, and on the first it is dated to two days: 1 and 2 November 1944. This archive records what is cut and does not characterise the events of those two days; the Carnian autumn of 1944 is contested ground and a one-name study is not where that is settled. ⚠ He is not the Egidio born 11 February 1944, who died in 2013. That child was nine months old when this man was killed, and may well have been named for him. (inf.) No birth date is on either stone, so none is given here.

No family is drawn for this name, and no record stands behind it. This archive has not placed it in a household and holds no indexed entry for it — the name reached this project through a chart, a narrative source or the family tree, and everything it does hold is below. The Register is where a record would appear if one turned up.
Identity here is by name, not by resolved individual. Where two people of one name appear in this archive they share this page, and it is for the reader to keep them apart — the surrounding text usually makes it obvious. Nothing here is new evidence; it is the same evidence, brought together.

This person has not been written up in an essay yet — most often read straight off a register page that no index anywhere contains. What is known is at the top, and the pages linked above are where the finding sits.

A dossier is every mention of a name anywhere in this archive's data, gathered automatically and linked back to the page it appears on, with what the archive knows about the person set out at the top. Identity here is by NAME, not by resolved individual: where two people share a name they share a dossier, and the archive says so rather than guessing. Rebuilt from the roster, so every person the archive can name has a page — including the ones read straight off a register that no index anywhere contains.
