# Archivio Research Shelf - Link: https://italiajoe.com/archivio/ - Published: 2024-05-21T01:13:40+00:00 - Author: Joseph Simonetti The project to discover the events that led up to _Italia Joe’s_ father being made a POW by the Germans and pinning down the actual history behind the oral notes passed down by members of the Attisani, Simonetti and Vogel families yielded much data. This has been catalogued into the final configuration for each of the titled books. The chapter headings making up each book have a definitive structure and point form descriptors. The research material associated with each book is informative and the drop-down menus are a guide to the period associated with each book. The compendium of documented data simplifies the need to follow up on further reading if that is of interest.
