Answer 4

The British hotelier family of Fortes originally came from Mortale, Casalaticco in Italy. The founder was born in 1908 https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=nbGcAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA387&lpg=PA387&dq=Rocco+Giovanni+Forte&source=bl&ots=FVzZ6yxA8j&sig=sgRW8SuWgmFr97Kph1TBDr2rKo8&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjL1dH29bPKAhWCoxoKHQdxB2UQ6AEITjAJ#v=onepage&q=Rocco%20Giovanni%20Forte&f=false

 (I hadn't realised that the family  were such recent 'immigrants' , he wasn't a British citizen until after WW2 but still managed to become a baron. I remember well the holiday treats of  knickerbocker glories and chocolate nut Sundaes from Fortes in the 1950s)

He doesn't seem to have a profile on here.
