Figure 1.--The photo shows four siblings: Rosa, Raffaele, Giuseppina and Luigi Errichiello. Itvis undated, but we believe was taken during the 1940s, probably during the War. They lived in San Pietro a Patierno, a village near Naples. In a hot summer day the children wore little clothing. We know little about the family. Italy was not a rich country when Mussolini led the country into World War II as a German ally (June 1940). The country was devestated by the War which after the Allied invasion (September 1943) was fought all the way up the Italian peninsula. The fighting around Naples which was the most important port in southern Italy was particularly intense.
