Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you in hopes of finding information about my great-grandfather, Michael (or Michelino) Mastroianni
His details are as follows:
Name:Michael (or Michelino) MastroianniPlace of Birth:Gizzeria, Catazaro, Calabria, ItalyPlace of Death:Spain
He has also served in a war.
There is also a reddit link on a dedicated server to help find him if needed Here.
Would it be possible to check your records for any information? I would be very grateful for any assistance you can provide, as this information is very important to my family.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerly,
Serafino.

Sadly, there are no records available online for the town of Gizzeria, Catanzaro after 1860.
You will need to write to them (in Italian) for the birth and marriage records for your great-grandfather, whose name most likely appears as Michele Mastroianni. Include copies of what you have for your grandfather Serafino - his birth record, his death certificate, etc.
It could help if you knew where specifically in Spain Michele died, and the date.
Hope this helps.

Serafino Mastroianni brother in law (wifes sisters husband) is Bruno Mastroianni
Are Serafino and Bruno related with same surname Mastroianni?
As a lot of Bruno Mastroianni's family is from Gizzeria, Provincia di Catanzaro, Calabria, Italy and are buried in the Cemetery of the Holy Rood cemetery in Westbury, Nassau County, New York, USA
Perhaps if you can track Bruno's family it might help track Michael

Hello, I did not know that there were no online records after 1860 for Gizzeria, Catanzaro.
My grandfather (Serafino Mastroianni, Michael's son) has unfortunently passed away and he had his birth and death certificates, we are not quite sure where he has put them after we cleaned out his whole house but could not find it. Do you know where I could write to for that information?
I am also unsure if it is Michele as one day while I was talking to my grandfather and he referred to him as Michelino rather than Michele.0 -

Hello, Serafino is related with the same surname Bruno.
I have contacted the family of Bruno and tried to get a hold of them but I have yet to get a response.0 -
The idea of Michele vs Michelino is only a suggestion - when writing, I would use Michelino and suggest "possibly Michele" in your letter. It may very well be that diminutive given name was common in that town. When you write, include everything you know, such as: his wife's name, where they were married, his son Serafino's birth date, etc…
