Wow - that is deep and comprehensive! Many thanks

Yeah, I was already thinking after Ivan’s post that Ludovico, whilst in Italian form, is a very Central European/Austrian/German sounding name. Maybe I’m wrong and lots of Southern Italians have that name? But it makes me think of the likes of Ludwig van Beethoven performing for high society in Vienna.

I recently discovered via research on Ancestry.co.uk that I have a 6x Great Grandfather who was Northern Italian. Comite was the family name iirc, apparently meaning “from Como” or some such. I wonder if I am eligible for membership - haha

I’ll have to read that article B. I was also meaning to say that your recent audio episode on Manfredi Mineo was brilliant! Really helped clarify some questions for me, even if a lot was clarifying what we don’t know!

Interesting - so at least some Ludovicos/Lodovicos down south. Probably common I guess. Thanks!
