A question primarily geared toward our Italian members.
A long time ago, I believe I discussed some of this with our good friend
Franco (Eta Beta), and now I'm going for some more clarification, and some
correction to my faulty memory. I'm not looking for a complete list and I
am aware of the DCML Translation list. I just think that the DCML list
might be lacking some of the more "historic" information (such as Mickey's
"full" name in Italian which I find interesting). I'm also looking for
more "complete" information, such as if Paperina originally had a first
name or if Clarabella or Orazio had surnames, etc.
Is the following list correct? If you know any early or additional names
attributed to the characters, or have corrections to contribute, please
advise:

Minnie Mouse = Minni Topolina (now just called Minni)
