It actually says the mother was well-to-do? kind of implies that the father wasn't and she married below her station doesn't it?

We don't know... But I don't think so because he made a military career and therefore he could come from a wealthy family.

Here is Rita Apollonia Vittoria born Dec 15 1910. Father Giovanni Romanin and mother Palmira Mazzoli.

Yes, Rita was born in a house situated in Cannaregio (Venice) at n°5259 B.
Her mother Palmira was housewife and her father Giovanni, 23 yo, was sales agent; their domicile was in Venice.

Rita married Emilio Bevilacqua on April 22 1944 in Venice.

I wish google earth had ground images of Venice so I could map the houses.

This is Ida Nina Romanin born January 2 1903 to Guido Romanin and Ermingilda Luzzatto.

There is google maps' street view... I definitely remember seeing the google-map-man with his weird backpack and sort of antenna going about venice on foot when I lived there.

sorry about that long link, if a mod can modify my message and remove it, I notice now it's too long and makes the page wonky, and doesn't work, apparently.
But basically, go to google MAPS and type in venice and then go to street view!

Scusate per il link, pare non funzionare e non mi ero resa conto avrebbe sformato la pagina, se un mod potesse modificare il mio messaggio togliendolo sarei grata, in questa sezione non vedo il tasto modifica.

The link works by copying and pasting it into the address bar...

Indeed, until the early '800, in the area of the Cannaregio sestiere of Venice there was the Venetian Ghetto:

Luzzatto è un cognome ebraico.

I will try google earth again. The last time I did it, it most definitely did not have the street images...excited to try it now and see my gorgeous city again.

Erica, I have spent many hours in the Ghetto in Venice. I even got to go to Sabbath services there...an amazing experience!! It's interesting to see this connection to Judaism. My mom always told me that it was believed a branch of the family was originally Jewish and forced to convert. There is a belief that if that happens, somewhere down the line it will be brought back to Judaism. My mother converted to Judaism before i was born in Israel. So far, I don't know if this particular Romanin is connected...but it will be interesting to find out.

I wonder, is anyone here actually in Venice?

I've been to Venice once and I have visited the Jewish Ghetto...
I love that city but I live in Tuscany.

I'm curious to find out if the Romanin are related to you...

Erica

Well, I am looking at all the Romanins and tracking what I find because my great-grandmother was Bice Romanin, daughter of Marino Romanin and Amelia Formento. I have found a couple of siblings, but still no connection to any of the others.

Searching the records is very slow going. I think when I can finally get to the marriage records, that should start to help piece the puzzle together.... I hope!

So with that...

here is Giuseppe Enrico Giovanni Romanin born January 31 1903. Father Pietro Romanin and mother Catterina Moro ?

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... ,349733001

Yes, Giuseppe Enrico Giovanni Romanin born January 31 1903 in a house situated in Cannaregio (Venice) at n°114.
Father Pietro Romanin, 25 yo, railroad fireman by profession and mother Catterina Moro, housewife, both residing in Venice.

Giuseppe married Italia Doni on March 9 1934 in Venice.

So here is another Romanin that was recorded as being Jewish.

Mario Leone Romanin born February 28 1901 to Guido Romanin and Ermenegilda Luzzatto. Looks like he was recorded as Jewish on Jul 27 1939...

What name would Ermenegilda translate to?

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... ,349732601

No, Mario Leone was born on February 27 1901, in a house situated in Cannaregio (Venice) at n°4814.
His father was Guido Romanin, 29 yo, shopkeeper, residing in Venice and his mother was Ermenegilda Luzzatto, housewife.

he was recorded as Jewish on Jul 27 1939...Ok!

Mario married Elena Molensk on September 3 1933 in Turin.

The name Ermenegilda doesn't have an English translation to my knowledge but it can be shortened to Gilda.
