Can you read this?
Anyone want to make an attempt at deciphering and translating the handwriting on the back of this old photo? It belongs to my daughter's husband's family and they think the photo was taken in Milano, Italy.
Of course, like so many old photos it had been pasted into an album and had to be removed from the page in an effort to identify this fellow! She would appreciate any efforts at reading this faded flowery script.

The only word I could really make out somewhat clearly was afleto, (or I think that is it), and I did find a translation that in Italian it means: Fondness, a. aflelto.
Someone more familiar with Italian may be able to make out more of the words.
Thanks for your efforts! I'm hopeful someone will be able to get another word or two!
Friend @melinda010100, that is very difficult, but the only thing that is true is the last word: "affetto", which means affection.
Thanks! At least we know he was affectionate! 🤗
No need to send Comment Coin, just keep them!
Hope this helps! 😊
Thanks for editing this! It makes it a bit easier to read.
The cc Tokens get distributed automatically by the bot when I use the tag and the bot is working. As with most new projects this one still has some bugs that I am hopeful they can work out. I like the idea behind this project.
Hello Melinda,
I've resteemed this! There's gotta be someone out there who can decipher this! Sorry that I couldn't help more!
Cheers!
Lucky
I appreciate your help! I told my daughter that I had faith in my friends here to help!
Is the writing Italian? I only hope you can decipher the message.
Thanks! We think it is Italian.
Well it's definitely in Italian. I don't speak it but I'm good at puzzles, and I can use an online translator :)
Is the first word Ella, "she"?
Third word seems to be a proper noun, such as a name.
Next line, con means "with".
3rd line seems to begin with another capital E.
3rd line ends with affetto, "affection".
Signed with another name on the bottom?
I'd like to check back later and see if any other words have been filled in. Maybe we can piece it together as a team :p
Good luck!
Great puzzle strategy! With so many people looking at it we are bound to get most of it figured out!
Perhaps @mad-runner can help you?

Thanks for the suggestion!
@melinda010100 There are more even using the #cc tag.
Good luck finding the full transcript, these older writings take some deciphering I think @drutter is on the right track looking at that fine script.
Thanks! That is a good strategy!
I hope an Italian can decipher for you. He was a handsome fellow.
He was handsome, wasn't he?
I try to read this letter, but it's hard.....
*Alla mia "Rosina"(?!?!)
con "amicizia"(?!?!)
e .....rigiato (?!?!) affetto*
I'm sorry but the letter is very faded and the writing is difficult to understand, I apologize also because I haven't received the notification of the dear @wakeupkitty, i try to appeal to other Italians Steemians
Thank you so much! I appreciate the attempt! 🤗
Of nothing, i try with other Italian Steemians...

Saludos. Es italiano, indiscutiblemente. La segunda fila dice: con sincera. En la última fila el comienzo no lo entiendo y al final dice: afecto.
Es una despedida pero no alcanzo a leer bien. Sabes? el italiano tiene algunas palabras muy parecidas al portugues. Pero esto es italiano.
un abrazo.
I try...
ALLA MIA ROSINA CON ..🤔.. E STIMATO AFFETTO.

Ciò avrebbe senso per le parole scritte sul retro di una foto! grazie!
My daughter says I got it wrong and those words are written on the back of this photo.
The R name might be a man's name.
I'm not sure if it makes a difference. 🤔
The card says:
Alla mia Rosalina, con sincera Amicizia e affetto
La z nell'uso corretto dell'italiano in corsivo è simile alla g ma non si usa più, e dato il periodo storico del messaggio era normale tale modo di scrivere.
Trovo che tutto sia molto poetico.
The z in the correct use of Italian in italics is similar to g but it is not used anymore, and given the historical period of the message it was normal this way of writing.
I find that everything is very poetic.

Sono d'accordo con te!
Anche mio padre scrive la z minuscula simile a una g.
Alla mia R..., con sincera Amicizia e affetto
Ho solo dubbi sul nome.
Brava @elikast
Ciao @maruskina, prima così si scriveva anzi prima sapevano scrivere ora storpiano tutto, venivano valutati proprio in calligrafia! Ho supposto Rosalina perché i segni grafici finali convergono a formare un L...sono allenata a decifrare i miei alunni! 🤣🤣🤣
Grazie

Thank you so much for this translation and for the bit of history about the spelling of the words. I appreciate it.
You are welcome! I am very happy that you enjoyed it. I really like old photographs, I also have a box full of these photos and the spelling is very similar to that of the photo you posted. They are the symbol of a world that will never return, a direct testimony of a history of the world made by simple and not famous people! It's nice to give it back light and memory! Thank you for the opportunity!

Thanks for helping decipher this!
What a great mystery, Melinda. I read through all the comments and see the consensus is the handsome Italian man was affectionate. 💗
I knew there would be someone here that could solve the mystery!
