Tom in London Oct 12, 2009:
Yes Yes, I think Luciano must be right because "Bresciano "is masculine, so it can't be an adjective referring to this woman.

Example: Elisabetta Bresciano. But the rest of the SMS message would still be a complete mystery to me...."Elisabetta Bresciano desire and everyone for themselves" (???)
Luciano Giusti Oct 12, 2009:
Maybe a surname? If the asterisks are a woman's name, 'bresciano' could be a surname
RProsser (asker) Oct 12, 2009:
the asterisks are a woman's name,
Tom in London Oct 11, 2009:
Yes the second part means " and everyone for themselves" or words to that effect
philgoddard Oct 11, 2009:
You may have worked this out already, but I think the x is an abbreviation for "per".
Tom in London Oct 11, 2009:
what... ...do the asterisks stand for? The way you've typed them, the word looks like a 15-letter word of which the last 9 are "bresciano".
David Russi Oct 11, 2009:
these look like typos these look like typos

Brescian

If it refers to someone from that region, it's ok to say Brescian.

...'in the Brescian Alps and around Lake Garda'.

'Eighteen Brescians had been arrested in
1823, several of whom were condemned to death,
including a Martinengo'

Peer comment(s):

neutral James (Jim) Davis : Brescian is fine for somebody like me who knows Brescia, but for most people would be completely incomprehensible and it is not even in the dictionary. An authoritative precedents don't necessarily make it an intelligent translation.
