Rick St.Hilaire sends us this note on searching for Italians in Asmara:

This man in Nashua was found because my mother, who is Italian and was living in Asmara, located her old schoolmate and her husband from a newspaper/organization called Mai Tacli. They have a list called Siamo Tutti Di Asmara (trans: We're all from Asmara), which lists the names of practically every Italian who lived in Ethiopia. Their email is: maitacli@stenotype.it.
