Salve Andrea,
Here is the blog which I wrote in November 09 about ‘allora’ and ‘dunque’: http://www.transparent.com/italian/colloquial-italian-%E2%80%93-2-allora-and-dunque/

Good luck with your studies, a presto, Serena

I am begining to learn the language and am taking my first steps and I must say “amo il suo blog”. Please keep teaching us what is not found in textbooks –the colloquial form of “la madre lingua”.
I am looking forward for your explanation of “allora”, which I hear “un sacco” when I watch italian TV.
Ti ringazio per I’ll tuo ingresso!

Salve Mia, ‘Canetto Bianco’ doesn’t mean anything. ‘Bianco’ can be a surname, but I don’t know what ‘canetto’ means, maybe ‘Carletto’(?), a first name? The second line could be ‘ti ringrazio del tuo trasporto’ (I thank you for your transport). I can’t help you without seeing the post card.
Saluti da Serena

I made an error

I made an error, the 1800 post card read:

“Canetto Bianco

Li rin grazio della tuo transporto”

Can you tell me what it means?

Thanks

Can you tell me what this means?

Canetto Biando

Li rin grazio della tuo transporto

It was written on a 1800 post card
