Hi Ann,

Probably there are two possibilities ask in the commune of Fontanfredda or if is is going back quite awhile it would be through the records that the Church /Priest might have for your grandfather.

Hope this helps.

You are probably obliged to go through an agent also in order to have all the paperwork, deeds etc of the building/s in order. I have a property of a similar description for sale but not in Tuscany, Liguria. Send me a private message if you would like details. saluti Liz

Hi Beppa/Josie,

I see  you have other suggestions on how to proceed  as far as the priest’s records  are concerned you would need to ask someone locally or when you are here in August - for the Commune  for other records - they do not close in August but contact them via  email even better   would be to contact by telephone or I could ask my husband to call on your behalf he is Friulano and a local. Kind regards Liz

hi Josie,

I have been using this site for quite a while, I think you will find it all above board and expats/Italians who often supply the info you may need. I live in Friuli near both Maniago, Fanna and Poffabro.,Know the area well I have been living here for the past 30 years though I am British by birth. Regarding researching your heritage you would need to contact the commune/town hall of your parents’birth and request relative documentation also the local priest keeps records.

Would be happy to be of assistance if I can when you are here in August.

Saluti, regards

Liz.

Hi Joe,

Hope you are able to find some help - if not I can have a look for you at names of garden centres or similar I know someone in Lucca  - hotelier who I could ask on your behalf. I don’t live in the area but know the area and love it. 
All the best

Sorry I was unable to assist regarding facebook here are some groups in Italy - British and Mother Tongue Expats in Italy - Gardening and Farming in Italy English Group - Accommodation Owners in Italy - Second Home in Italy or as was previously suggested Expats in Lucca believe they also have a journal the groups are a real source of info - hope you have luck and manage to return a presto to Italy.

Hi Joe,

Sorry to say the friend I thought maybe able to help is not green-fingered. You could ask at a local garden centre or where they sell agricultural and gardening tools. There are groups on facebook who live in your area who may be able to help - don’t know if it is allowed hear to nominate them. Good luck - buona fortuna
