Italiano term

d. g. or d. guinto

Non-PRO Da Italiano a Inglese Altro Genealogia
Hi. Hoping someone can help me.

I've got a hand-written list of names on a list of wedding gifts received. The list is from a 1916 Italian-American wedding that took place in Portchester, NY. The groom's surname was 'Lovallo'. On this list there are about 30 people with different surnames. However, for many of the hand-written 'Lovallo' surnamed guests there is written directly after the surname what looks like a "d. g." or in once case, "d. guinto". The word "guinto" is difficult to read, and it could "guido" or something else close to it. Another same surnamed guest has just written "gui." after his name.

Can someone tell me what this "d. g." might stand for and what it might mean? I assume it might mean the person is related to the groom (because that person has the same last name) but I'm not exactly sure.

Thank you very much for your valuable time.

Rgrds,

Mike Stuart

Out in left field Could it be "d. giunto" rather than "d. guinto"? If so, it copuld stand for "dono giunto".

Just an idea

You say the list is of wedding gifts received - could this term refer to the guests' presence (or not) at the ceremony itself? Just a stab in the dark :-)
