Talk:Alcide De Gasperi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Name
True, De Gasperi is nowadays the most known spelling, but on his birth certificate read Degasperi, and he always signed himself such. De Gasperi came en vogue after WWII, when propagandists thought it more laudatory to write his name in a more "aristocratic" way. For a sample of his autograph, see: this letter to Ferruccio Parri. I think it should at least be mentioned in the article. --Tridentinus 13:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Tirol"
I have corrected the name "Tirol" as the region where De Gasperi was born. In fact, the "Trentino" (I don't think there's an english name) was and is an Italian-language region, instead of Tirol, which is Austrian.
