Hope I'm not late, I'm truly amazed by his life. Wish him happy birthday from Italy!

What was life like during the Communist Era?

(i'm opening a thread on /r/italy to see if anyone knows a person named Giovanni Caldo)

yes, lots of italian soldiers were kept prisoners by the nazis after the government decided to switch side. They gave me a bunch of websites but i cannot find anything related, maybe i can track him down in some way sending an email to ANPI, the national association for Resistance soldiers, they might have some kind of record book.

I visited Pripyat and from what I could see and what the military guide could tell me it was a pretty cool city to live in before the disaster: lots of schools, gyms, libraries, playgrounds, nice transportation, well planned housing, above-average GDP. Can you tell anything about that?
