The family

No family chart is drawn for this person, and that is a statement about the data rather than about them. This archive records kin against a name — the tree on a name page gathers everyone who shares it, so it may hold one person's dates beside another's wife. Rather than hand a reader a family that might not be this person's, the chart is drawn only where the relationship is recorded person by person, which today means the direct line.

What the archive knows

Virginija's son, and the last of the family in the house at Gračišće. > NAZARIJO ✱ 7. 02. 1939 ✝ 11. 12. 2003 — on his mother's stone, «F. DE FRANCESCHI — MARFAN», read at full resolution from David's photograph. (doc.) The 2012 American chart gives «Nazario (2/7/1939)» as one of Virginija's four children. The stone agrees to the day. He is the man the album remembers. The writer first came to Gallignana in 1972 and was received by Aunt Virginia; years later «her son Nazario and his wife Mila» gave the visiting American cousins lunch and their own wine, and the afternoon went under the grape arbour. He died on 11 December 2003, and this archive has the date because somebody drove there and read it off the stone. Recorded here as a person for the first time on 29 September 2026 — he had been written about on the eleven for weeks without ever having a record of his own.

No one else in this archive carries this name.
