What a wonderful opportunity. I am so glad you got to meet him. If he did not understand who you were, he will realize it when he gets back to the forum.
I look forward to any of your pictures.
I am posting a few more taken from Matteo's FB page:

I've been looking at those photos on facebook. I'm so happy for him
I can't wait to hear from him when he returns.
God bless those heroes who suffered and died, for plain folks, like you and me.
War is a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.
As soon as I can retrieve all the photos, I will post it here! ![]()

He's been home. I wrote to him today and he said he's been home for about a week. We shall eagerly await from a post from him...

Grazie. Li ho amati. L'immagine in bianco e nero di te e la donna è stata meravigliosa.
Some very wonderful photos!!! Some great pics of Rocky and several others. I especially loved the black and white photo of you and the woman kissing. So sweet!

She is my girlfriend, Ligeia. She has great patience with me and recently accompanied me to the reenactment in 40s clothes... She also receives a lot of success ![]()
I want to propose her to Mr. Spielberg and Mr. Hanks for a hypothetical new TV series "The Italian Front". (only then if they take us as actors hahaha ![]()

If she needs a period uniform I have an original WWII US Navy Waves jacket and cap that would probably fit her ![]()

Thanks for the offer, but unfortunately we are far from the sea and when we do re-enactments, it would be out of place ![]()
By chance would you have a pair of HBT pants for man? Here in Europe are almost impossible to find... ![]()
Sorry for the OT
