Researching my 1866 Campaign Greatx2 grandfather

[ImWalkinHere!]

Hello all,

I just set up a PEC email to reach out to what I believed was an email and process that would work. I

I sent an email to "archivio.centraledellostato@cultura.gov.it" asking for military records for my Great Great Grandfather Luciano Lombardo who was a sapper in the 1866 campaign. The email system for Aruba.it said "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender"

Im looking for those crunchy primary source documents. Is this the way to do it or am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think this may be the correct address: acs@cultura.gov.it (I did notice there was a “pec” address too but I’ve lost it now, but someone else might know it, so wait until someone else chimes in.)

What town and province was Luciano born in? Generally any military records are kept at the State Archives of the respective Province a soldier was born in.

@ImWalkinHere!

Send your request to the Archivio di Stato di Caltanissetta (ie State Archives of Caltanissetta)

email: as-cl@cultura.gov.it I would use this one.

The Pec address is as-cl@pec.cultura.gov.it

Make sure you include Luciano’s date of birth, especially the year of birth because the Draft Lists are compiled annually at time of birth, and then annotated later when the subject is called.
Also include the names of his parents. (I generally include the name and year of birth in the heading of the email:

e.g.
OGGETTO: Richiesta esito di leva e dei foglie matricolari di
Luciano Settimo Lombardo , Classe di Nascita (year born)

Best to you with this.

Nel 1866 siamo ancora al tempo delle Guerre d'Indipendenza, prima del funzionamento dell'esercito nazionale del Regno d'Italia. Credo che i documenti relativi a quel periodo siano all'Archivio di Stato di Torino.

Okay. Thank you for that information. (I'll make a note so I remember next time.) I'll let you find the correct email address because I have to go out. (I've just been attempting to send private messages and they bounced. I've had issues again this morning with the forum but it looks like it is fixed again now - hopefully. Hope you are well.)

Just an update--Torino seems to be the correct place to look. Caltanissetta came back to me saying they only had a birth certificate and liste di leva document.

Will update when Torino responds to my email.
