Figure 1.--The Malaguit boys lived in Bolonia and here we see a snapshot from 1967. The names of the boys are Dario, Marco, and Paolo. The boys look to be about 8-12 years old. The snapshot was taken at the seaside summer camp (colonia estiva) in Pinarella, a beach resort about 30 kms north of the better known Rimini resort. The camp was organized by the private boarding school the boys attended in Bolonia (Collegio di Casaglia). They are wearing the uniform of the summer camp: striped t-shirts and short pants.

The Malaguit boys lived in Bolonia and here we see a snapshot from 1967. The names of the boys are Dario, Marco, and Paolo. The boys look to be about 8-12 years old. The snapshot was taken at the seaside summer camp (colonia estiva) in Pinarella, a beach resort about 30 kms north of the better known Rimini resort. The camp was organized by the private boarding school the boys attended in Bolonia (Collegio di Casaglia). This means that the boys came from an affluent family. They are wearing the uniform of the summer camp: striped t-shirts and boxer-style short pants. We are not sure about the color, but blue and white seems likely. The striped t-shirts give the uniform a kind of sailor look. We don't know if the cap worn by the younger brother is part of the camp uniform. More likely it was part of their school uniform. It looks like a British-style school cap. It seems to have what looks like a chin strap, but it is longer than any chin strap I had ever seen before. Britisgh school caps did not come with chin straps. Surely the uniforms were completed with the footwear when they left the beach, probably open toe sandals.
