Gravestone abbreviation
Gravestone abbreviation
I recently found my grandfather's gravestone and I am confused by something in the inscription. It says "R.D. Sua Moglie." I am sure sua moglie is "her/my husband" but I can't find out what R.D. means. Can anyone help?
Re: Gravestone abbreviation
"sua moglie" is "his wife".
As to "R.D.", do you have an image to post?

This happened to my ggrandmother, who was previously married to my great grandfather the 2nd wife did not like her she despised her so when he buried her he used her initals for her burial. so this is why they do initals of their spouses

Riposo Dolce ?

That is more than likely what it is. The letters are not her initials, and we kept thinking something like "Rest in Peace." Thanks much for the help.
