I just want to thank you, Ricardo, for supplying this link. I learned of it in this other thread.

Not sure if anyone can help me here, but I'm trying to research my great grandfather named Ezaia or Isaiah Costa, died in 1915 and I believe he's from Milan. My grandfather never mentioned how/why he died but I've always suspected in WW1. He was married to a Lodomilla Mazzuchelli (1863-1943) from Milan (immigrated in 1920 and died in Cleveland, Ohio).

Although I am 2nd generation Italian-American, I do not write in Italian so my options are limited from what I read here concerning writing to Italy.

Any leads you might be able to suggest would be greatly appreciated.

Small factoid: Italy lost nearly as many civilians in WWI as she did military personnel 589,000 vs. 651,000.

I did think of that, but since he died in 1915, that was only at most 6 months into the war. If he was actually in the army, he would have been involved in the early battle of the Isonzo River (Jun-Dec).

The battles on the Isonzo River were 12.
I hope it helps

How do I find a list of soldiers that participated in WWI but not died?

[ricbru]

Well, there is not list of soldiers that partecipated but not died.
Because we are talking about 6 - 7 million young italian guys who had to leave for WWI.
650.000 didn't come bakc home, and a couple of millions came home with wounds.
What are you looking for?
please let me know, happy to help you

Thank you so much for the link! I found a man who is very likely my cousin. Do you have any advice on how to find men who survived WWI? I have an uncle (Michele Maietta) who was in WWI. All I know is that he was wounded and was awarded two medals. Any advice on finding him would be great.

[ricbru]

well if you have the infos about him, I can help you to write to defense ministry and it will give you the all infos about the two medals

That would be great. His name is Michele Maietta, born 1885 in the Comune of Marcianise. I'm not sure what years he was in the war....I know he went back to Italy in 1915. Where would I go from here?
