Morón Airfield, Buenos Aires, 1938 Collection of Angel Martini |
Left to Right: Carola Lorenzini, Unidentified, Raquel Collins, Unidentified Collection of Angel Martini "Carola was a very kind and simple person with everyone. A marvelous woman. The pictures were taken at the Moron airfield, Buenos Aires. The signature on the second photograph is Carola's mechaninc, a German by the name of Kurt. I don't recall his surname." Angel Martini intends to continue the interview in the near future, (10-13-03). |
Carola may be seen kneeling in the front row, the fifth person from the left. The photo at the top of this page is an enlargement from this photograph. Angel's mother, Raquel Collins, may be located by the tiny label. Collection of Angel Martini |
Josefina Negrotti, Carola Lorenzini, Raúl Horacio Negrotti & Unknown Collection of Luís Negrotti |
Via email from Luís Negrotti, 11-12-03 Mis Padres, José Negrotti y María Gisler de N., fueron buenos amigos de Carola Lorenzini y de su grupo de colegas. Esta fotografía fue tomada en Morón, en 1938. Es una foto de buena calidad y la he mejorado, minimamente con Photoshop. En ella se ven, de izquierda a derecha, a mi padre, mi madre embarazada de mi, una desconocida con su brazo sobre mi hermana Ma. Josefina (Usando casco y antiparras de Carola), así como mi hermano, Raúl Horacio, (a quién Carola abraza contra si misma) y finalmente, un señor desconocido. Es una fotografía de buena calidad, evidentemente tomada por un profesional, y es interesante observar las figuras en segundo plano, de las que no tengo ninguna información. Como comprenderá, no tengo memoria personal de Carola, sólo era un niño pequeño a su muerte, pero en mi familia su recuerdo fue siempre uno de los recuerdos más cargados de afecto y admiración. Tanto así como para que hoy, a mis 64 años, pensara en poner "Carola Lorenzini" en un buscador de Internet, encontrar su sitio y sentir deseos de compartir ésta imágen. Le agradezco el buen momento pasado. Luis Negrotti Dear Mr. Cooper: My Parents, José Negrotti and Maria Gisler de N., were good friends of Carola Lorenzini and her group of colleagues. This photograph was taken in Morón, in 1938. It is a photo of good quality and I have improved it slightly with Photoshop. In it are seen, from left to right, my father, my mother, (pregnant with me), a stranger with her arm on my sister Ma. Josefina (wearing helmet and goggles of Carola), as well as my brother, Raul Horacio, (who Carola embraces against herself) and finally, an unknown gentleman. The photograph is of good quality, evidently taken by a professional, and it is interesting to observe the figures in background, of whom I have no information. As it can be appreciated, I do not have a personal memory of Carola, as I was only a small boy at the time of her death, but in my family, her memory was always recalled with affection and admiration. So today, at 64 years of age, I thought it was about time to put "Carola Lorenzini" into a search engine on the Internet. I found your site and decided to share this image with you and your visitors. I thank for this good moment, recalled from the past. Luis Negrotti |
