CATTARINI - CATTARINICH

Posted by RICCARDO CATTARINI <rcattarini@msn.com> on Mon, 03 Mar 2003, in response to cattarini-cattarinich, posted by Linda (Cattarinich)Reaman on Sun, 28 Jul 2002

dear Linda
Surfing on the net I found your message, and here I am.
My name is Riccardo CATTARINI and I am a 49 years old criminal defence attorney, living in Trieste, North East Italy.
My grandfather Rodolfo was a Navy Commanding Officer and was born about 1880 in Lussinpiccolo, at that time Austrian Empire.
He was italian speaking, the youngest of 11 brothers and sisters, and his family owned since two centuries a small shipyard, called "Squero Cattarinich".
In 1918, after the First World War, the Isle of Lussinpiccolo joined Italy, and my grandfather's former family name, Cattarinich, was changed in Cattarini because the italian Fascist government ordered to the officers to change their names in an "italian" one.
His brother Gilberto, who was a captain in the commercial shipping, did not change the family name, therefore remaining Cattarinich.
Their properties, anyway, where nationalized by the communist government of the Federal Republic of Jugoslavia, which occupied the isle after the second World War.
I have never known of Cattarini - Cattarinich coming from other places.
I spend my holidays very often in beautiful Lussinpiccolo, now Republic of Croatia, and I have a lot of pictures.
This is obviously the land where your family came from.
Are you interested?
Regards
Riccardo CATTARINI
