Fondo Egone Missio Archives
Open-knowledge reference entry
The Fondo Egone Missio (Egone Missio Archives) contains thousands of documents and photographs from 1909 to 1967 relevant to the design and construction of passenger ships, from the original drawings of Monfalcone yard no. 1 (the steamship Trieste of 1909) to all the reference papers of the design and construction of Home Lines SS Oceanic (1965).
The archive is headquartered in Via Rosselli 20, 34074 Monfalcone, Italy. It was created in 2004 by Mrs. Edda Missio, daughter to the ship designer Mr. Egone Missio of Monfalcone, who entered the local shipyard a few months after its foundation, on 11 January 1909 as apprentice carpenter. He became the chief of the passenger design office in 1943, and he worked there until 1967. Missio kept a day-by-day business diary from 1952 to 1967, in which details of his career and of the ships he designed can be found, including details of all the meetings between the parties involved in the conception and design of the SS Oceanic. He designed several well-known passenger vessels, including MS Giulio Cesare (1951) and Oceanic (1965).
A book devoted to the career of naval architect of Egone Missio, and the ocean liners he designed at the Monfalcone Shipyard was published in 2009.

Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 5, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q5465003. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1909, 1967, 1965 and 2004.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
